Summary
U.S. District Judge Lauren King has issued a temporary restraining order against Trump's directive halting federal support for gender-affirming care for minors. This follows a similar decision by Judge Brendan Hurson just a day prior. Both judges were appointed by President Biden and ruled in response to legal challenges from Washington, Oregon, and Minnesota, alongside claims from families and medical professionals. They argue Trump's executive order, aiming to limit funding for these essential services, undermines vital health care rights for transgender youth. Advocates express relief at the rulings, emphasizing the ongoing legal battle over access to necessary medical treatments.
