Judge blocks Trump order restricting access to gender-affirming care for now
CBSN
Washington — A federal judge in Maryland agreed Thursday to temporarily halt President Trump's executive action that restricts access to gender-affirming care for people under the age of 19, according to the groups challenging the move, delivering a setback to the Trump administration efforts targeting what it calls "gender ideology" while the legal proceedings move forward.
The ACLU, which is representing a group of transgender young people diagnosed with gender dysphoria and LGBTQ advocacy groups, said U.S. District Judge Brendan Hurson issued a temporary restraining order from the bench following a hearing on their bid to temporarily block enforcement of the restrictions.
The challengers have argued that the Trump administration's actions violate the Constitution and discriminate on the basis of sex and transgender status.
