A federal judge, Royce C. Lamberth, temporarily halted the Bureau of Prisons from enforcing President Trump's executive order affecting transgender women prisoners. The order aimed to place transgender women in men’s prisons and discontinue gender-affirming medical treatments. The lawsuit, filed on behalf of three transgender women, successfully demonstrated that the enforcement of this order would result in irreparable harm. This ruling is part of broader legal challenges against Trump’s policies impacting transgender rights, including military service restrictions and funding prohibitions for transgender youth treatments.
Judge Royce C. Lamberth emphasized the straightforward demonstration of irreparable harm faced by three transgender prisoners if the Trump executive order were to proceed.
The suit challenges President Trump's directive to house transgender women with male inmates, asserting it contradicts their rights and will inflict harm on their well-being.
