The Justice Department filed an emergency request to lift a federal judge's order that has prevented the State Department ending the use of "X" markers on passports and from stopping transgender men and women obtaining documents showing their gender identity. This is the latest legal wrangle over an executive order signed by Donald Trump soon after he returned to the White House, in which he proclaimed that there were only two genders and these that were "unchangeable".

The move was expected after an appeals court rejected Trump's latest attempt to forcibly remove her from office earlier this week. Cook has been steadfast in her efforts to remain in office, maintaining for weeks that Trump can't fire her without cause.
