A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction against President Trump's executive order which attempted to ban transgender individuals from military service. U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes ruled the order likely violates the rights of transgender service members under the Fifth Amendment. The order, signed by Trump, claimed that transgender identities conflict with military discipline and readiness. In response, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had enforced policies disqualifying those with gender dysphoria from serving. Legal actions were initiated by attorneys representing eight transgender service members following this controversial executive order.
