The Trump administration in the United States is "considering banning trans people from buying guns."

The U.S. Justice Department is allegedly considering proposals to prevent transgender people from buying guns in the US.

CNN, citing unnamed sources, described talks on the matter as "preliminary in nature" and said they stemmed from last week's shooting at a Catholic church in Minnesota, which left two children dead and 17 others injured. The suspect in the shooting was transgender, according to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

The New York Post, also citing unnamed sources, also reported that talks were underway.

"The DOJ is actively evaluating options to prevent the pattern of violence we have seen from individuals with specific mental health challenges and substance abuse disorders. No specific criminal justice proposals have been advanced at this time," a Justice Department spokesperson said when asked about the media reports.

The talks within President Donald Trump's administration would pit the Republican Party's long-held support of gun rights against the administration's moves to limit the rights of transgender Americans.

Trump previously signed executive orders banning transgender people from the military and mandating that identification documents issued by the government be based on "an individual’s immutable biological classification as either male or female."

The Gun Owners of America rights group in a social media post responding to CNN's report, said: "GOA opposes any & all gun bans. Full stop."

Messi's Bodyguard Banned From Touchline During Inter Miami Games

Lionel Messi’s bodyguard Yassine Cheuko has been banned from protecting the Argentine forward in the touchline during Inter Miami matches. The former Navy SEAL gained widespread recognition after social media videos showed him closely watching the crowd to stop potential pitch invaders from harming the eight-times Ballon d’Or winner. Major League Soccer has now decided to take full control of matchday security and Cheuko will only be permitted in the locker room and mixed zones. “They don’t allow me to be on the field anymore,” the bodyguard told Spanish media. “I was in Europe for seven years, working for Ligue 1 and the Champions League, and only six people invaded the pitch. I came to the USA and in just 20 months 16 people have already done so. There’s a huge problem here, let me help Messi.”

Barca never had financial room to register Olmo -La Liga

La Liga said Wednesday Barcelona did not have the financial capacity to register players Dani Olmo and Pau Victor and still lack it, ahead of a decision by Spain’s sports council (CSD) over the duo’s eligibility to play. In January Barcelona announced a deal had been reached to sell VIP boxes at the club’s Camp Nou stadium, currently being rebuilt, worth a reported 100 million euros ($108 million), which gave them the financial fair play room for new licences for the players. La Liga said Barcelona used an unnamed auditor between December 31 and January 3 which recorded the deal on the club’s books, but their current auditor no longer includes it in the club’s interim financial statements for the first part of the 2024-25 season. “No amount from the (VIP box deal) is ultimately recorded in the profit and loss accounts, contrary to what had been certified by the club and the auditor at the time of said transaction,” said La Liga in a statement.

👇 More Photos And New Video's 👇 🔥 https://spoo.me/Wibk11 An ex-Arsenal academy footballer has been jailed for four years for his involvement in a £600,000 drug smuggling plot after a court heard his financial difficulties after a period out of contract led to a “catastrophic error of judgment”.
