Taxpayer-Funded Surgery for 'Yacht Killer' Sparks Controversy

Skylar Deleon, serving life for murder, received gender-affirming surgery under policies developed during Kamala Harris's tenure as California Attorney General.

• Skylar Deleon, formerly John Jacobson Jr., received gender-affirming surgery while serving a life sentence for the 2004 murder of Thomas and Jackie Hawks.
• The surgeries were funded by California taxpayers, a practice stemming from policies supported by Kamala Harris during her time as the state's attorney general.
• Deleon, convicted of multiple murders, is awaiting transfer to a women's prison following the completion of her gender transition in April 2023.
• Kamala Harris's role in advancing policies for transgender inmate healthcare has become a point of contention in her political career and current campaign.
• The increase in inmates seeking gender transition procedures has led to a backlog in California's prison system, with projections indicating hundreds of requests in 2024.
