A US court ruled against a Trump administration executive order that sought to ban transgender individuals from changing their gender on passports. Judge Julia Kobick issued a preliminary injunction, stating the government did not adequately justify the ban as serving a significant governmental interest. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) argued that the order was rooted in irrational prejudice, violating constitutional protections for all Americans. This ruling supports claims from plaintiffs who had faced issues with incorrect passport gender markers.
The government has failed to meet this standard.
The order was issued on irrational prejudice towards transgender Americans.
