A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order to block the U.S. military from separating two transgender airmen, Master Sgt. Logan Ireland and Staff Sgt. Nicholas Bear Bade, amid ongoing litigation challenging the reinstated trans military ban. The plaintiffs were placed on involuntary administrative absence under Trump's executive order despite years of distinguished service. Legal representatives argue that they deserve better treatment against political motivations. The order halts their separation as broader legal challenges continue, following another ruling asserting the ban's discriminatory nature.
These Airmen have risked everything to protect American freedoms - they deserve better than becoming the targets of a calculated, political purge.
The court's order halts the Air Force from continuing administrative separation proceedings against the two while litigation continues.
These are two guys who needed immediate relief. We initially were trying to add them to the D.C. case, but by the time we were seeking.
Judge Ana Reyes called the ban discriminatory, unsupported by evidence, and 'soaked in animus.'
