Federal Judges Halt Trump's Executive Order on Gender-Affirming Care for Trans Youth
Two federal judges temporarily pause Trump's order against federal funding for transgender youth care amidst legal challenges from several states and advocacy groups.
Overview
U.S. District Court Judges Lauren King and Brendan Hurson issued temporary restraining orders against former President Trump’s executive order halting federal support for gender-affirming care for transgender youth. The decisions arose from lawsuits filed by Democratic attorneys general in Washington, Oregon, and Minnesota, as well as advocacy groups representing families of transgender minors. The rulings highlight ongoing legal battles over transgender rights in healthcare, with concerns over access and equal protections being central to the disputes. The order could also affect future legal interpretations of transgender care funding.
