The Supreme Court has sanctioned the enforcement of President Trump's transgender military ban while legal challenges are ongoing, overturning a previous injunction. This 6-3 decision followed Trump's Executive Order that deemed transgender individuals unfit for military service, citing standards for military excellence. The lawsuit against the ban, spearheaded by GLAD Law and NCLR, argues it violates equal protection laws, with plaintiffs including active military members. Trump's actions extend to other anti-trans measures, impacting federal documentation and funding for gender-affirming care. Dissenting justices included Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson.
The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that Trump's transgender military ban can be enforced while legal challenges proceed, effectively barring trans people from serving in the military.
Trump signed an Executive Order entitled Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness, saying that transgender troops did not meet the standard required of the armed forces.
