"The court found the Trump administration "lacks statutory authority for a rambling exploration of the hospital's files to learn the names and medical treatment of children". Kearney's decision confirmed that the records concerned lawful medical treatment which was governed by Pennsylvania law, and that children's and families' constitutional privacy interests "far outweigh" the Department of Justice's asserted investigative needs."
""Yesterday's victory shows what we can accomplish when we come together with respect, hope and purpose. I'm honoured by your trust, and ready to get to work. "Being elected as Pennsylvania's first openly transgender mayor is deeply meaningful, and I carry that responsibility with pride and humility. I hope it reminds anyone who has ever felt unseen, unheard or underestimated that your voice matters and that you belong in the room where decisions are made.""
District Judge Mark A. Kearney rejected the Justice Department's demands for names, dates of birth, social security numbers, home addresses and clinical notes of minors treated since January 2020. The court found the Trump administration lacked statutory authority to comb hospital files for the identities and treatments of children. The decision confirmed the records reflected lawful medical treatment governed by Pennsylvania law and held that children's and families' constitutional privacy interests far outweigh the DOJ's asserted investigative needs. Families in Pennsylvania filed motions to quash subpoenas issued in July alleging fraud in gender-affirming care. Erica Deuso won 64 percent of the vote to become Pennsylvania's first openly transgender mayor in Downingtown.
