"LGBTQ groups and elected officials gathered at Tweed Courthouse in lower Manhattan on May 13 to demand stronger protections for gender-affirming care after NYU Langone said it received a federal subpoena seeking records of minors who received gender affirming care at the hospital dating back to 2020."
"“Donald Trump's abuse of legal process to harass minors who received gender-affirming care in New York and their families is an absolute outrage,” out Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal said. “Thanks to our Shield Law 2.0 passed last year, New York law enforcement and courts are prohibited from enforcing subpoenas or warrants related to legal gender-affirming care in New York. Manhattan must and will remain a safe haven for trans youth.”"
"NYU Langone said it received the grand jury subpoena from the US Attorney's Office in the Northern District of Texas on May 7. The hospital made the announcement in accordance with New York State's shield law, which stipulates that any entity that receives a request for legally protected health activity must attempt to notify the subjects of the inquiry at least 30 days before complying with such a request."
"“We understand that these developments may be concerning to our patients, providers, and others,” NYU Langone said in its announcement of the subpoena. “Please know that NYU Langone takes the privacy of your protected health information very seriously and we are evaluating our response to the subpoena. We will post updates at this website.”"

NYU Langone said the subpoena came from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Northern District of Texas on May 7 and that it notified subjects as required by New York’s shield law.
