Two federal judges have issued temporary restraining orders against Trump's executive order that halts federal support and funding for gender-affirming care for transgender youth under 19. The lawsuits, initiated by attorneys general from Washington, Oregon, Minnesota, and supported by medical professionals, argue that it infringes on equal rights and state authority. Trump's order targets institutions reliant on federal funds and seeks to restrict Medicaid and military insurance coverage for such care. The temporary orders remain in effect while the legal challenges continue, reflecting a significant pushback against the administration's policy changes.
The ruling from U.S. District Court Judge Lauren King blocks President Trump's executive order that aimed to revoke federal support for gender-affirming care for transgender youth.
This temporary restraining order was prompted by a lawsuit from Democratic attorneys general, stating that the executive order violates equal rights and state powers.
