Donald Trump passed a law that makes prostitution illegal

FalseThis claim has been determined to be false based on available evidence.

Analysis

The claim that "Donald Trump passed a law that makes prostitution illegal" is inaccurate. Prostitution is already illegal under federal and state laws in the United States, and no new standalone federal law criminalizing prostitution was enacted by Trump. Several sources mention legislation signed by Trump targeting online platforms facilitating illegal prostitution or sex trafficking, but these laws enhance penalties rather than criminalize prostitution itself. The sources predominantly focus on immigration enforcement, human trafficking, and prosecuting websites linked to illegal sex work, not on creating new laws that make prostitution per se illegal. The claim conflates existing laws and enforcement actions with new legislation, which is not supported by credible evidence.
