A convicted MS-13 gang member—serving over two decades for his role in the brutal murder of a 14-year-old boy—is now suing President Donald Trump and the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), claiming that he is a victim of gender-based discrimination.
According to a report by Genevieve Gluck in Reduxx, the man, Oscar Contreras Aguilar, now calls himself “Fendi G. Skyy” and identifies as a “transgender woman.” He alleges that he is being denied gender-affirming treatment, female clothing, and cosmetic products in prison, and is demanding that male prison guards be barred from conducting strip searches.
Contreras Aguilar, known in gang circles as “Atrevido,” was once a member of the notoriously violent international gang MS-13—an organization President Trump famously called “animals” during his presidency. Formed in the 1980s by Salvadoran immigrants in Los Angeles, MS-13 has become one of the most brutal and deadly transnational gangs in the Western Hemisphere, with operations tied to drug trafficking, sex slavery, and machete murders stretching across multiple U.S. cities and Latin American nations.
Contreras Aguilar played a central role in a horrifying 2016 double murder that shook Fairfax County, Virginia. Alongside other MS-13 gang members from the Locos Salvatrucha clique, Aguilar lured 17-year-old Edvin Mendez into the woods, where they killed him under suspicion of being a rival gang member. Days later, 14-year-old Sergio Triminio was also murdered, allegedly because the gang believed he was cooperating with law enforcement in Mendez’s disappearance. Triminio was stabbed repeatedly with a kitchen knife and a machete, with the violent act caught on video. The crime was as cold-blooded as it was calculated, according to Gluck.
In 2021, according to Gluck, Aguilar was sentenced to 252 months (21 years) in federal prison after accepting a plea deal that acknowledged his cooperation with law enforcement. He claimed to have worked with both the Suffolk County Police Department and the FBI’s Long Island Gang Task Force. His prior cooperation, however, did not win him safety inside the prison system. According to multiple court filings, he’s faced threats and assassination attempts from both MS-13 and other affiliated prison gangs like Sur 13, who discovered his informant status via public court records on PACER.
In January 2024, his lawsuit against then-Attorney General Merrick Garland was dismissed. Just months later, Aguilar began identifying as transgender and launched a new set of legal actions, pivoting to gender identity as the core of his claims. In his most recent complaints, he claims that solitary confinement has worsened his mental health, exacerbated his “gender dysphoria,” and denied him access to essential items such as makeup, bras, and feminine hygiene products.
What makes this case especially notable is that Aguilar is also challenging one of President Trump’s signature executive orders—Executive Order 14168: “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Government.” The policy, praised by conservatives as a long-overdue defense of women’s rights and biology-based definitions of gender, bars male inmates—including those claiming a transgender identity—from being housed in women’s prisons. In his lawsuit, Aguilar argues that the order “discriminates on the basis of sex” and puts him at risk of suicide by denying access to what he calls “essential gender-affirming resources.”
The civil complaint also alleges that BOP staff have engaged in “malicious misgendering,” referring to Aguilar as “he” and “Mr.”—language Aguilar claims causes him severe emotional distress and suicidal ideation.
But conservatives see Aguilar’s new identity claims as a cynical attempt to manipulate a broken system. After committing heinous acts of gang violence—including ordering the murder of a 14-year-old boy—he now wants the same system he terrorized to accommodate his demands for lip gloss, panties, and makeup. It’s a glaring example of how radical gender ideology is being weaponized behind prison walls—while victims like Sergio Triminio remain forever silenced.
Contreras Aguilar’s legal documents detail his frequent prison transfers—moving from Virginia Beach Correctional Center to USP Lee, then to Tucson, Allenwood, and currently Coleman Correctional in Florida. At each location, he claims he has faced threats, ridicule, and a lack of protection. Yet what stands out most is not his concern for safety as a former gang member and informant, but his desire to obtain gender-related accommodations—many of which were previously denied following Trump’s executive order.
