""Unserious leaders are unsafe. This case highlights a leader's unserious regard for the rule of law... does not merely result in an abstract infraction... [but rather] causes very real harm to very real people.""
""The declaration illegally exceeded the HHS' authority and violated both federal medical funding rules and the Administrative Procedure Act, which requires the government to publish proposed rule changes and allow public comment.""
""The declaration falsely stated that gender-affirming care for minors... fail to meet professional recognized standards of health care, despite the fact that all major medical associations in the U.S. consider gender-affirming care for minors to be safe, effective, and life-saving care.""
Federal Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai ruled against HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s declaration to end federal funding for health care institutions providing gender-affirming care to minors. The judge stated that the declaration exceeded HHS authority and violated federal medical funding rules and the Administrative Procedure Act. Nineteen states sued Kennedy after his December 2025 declaration claimed gender-affirming care was unsafe, despite major medical associations affirming its safety and effectiveness for minors.
