Texas appeals court upholds temporary injunction preventing the state from investigating families seeking gender-affirming care for transgender children
CNN
A Texas appeals court reinstated a temporary injunction Monday ensuring families seeking gender-affirming care for their trans children cannot be investigated by state authorities.
The ruling comes after a district court judge in Travis County ordered the state of Texas to temporarily stop investigating families earlier this month, but Attorney General Ken Paxton appealed the injunction and declared investigations could continue during the appeal process under the law.
Lambda Legal and the ACLU filed a request last week with the appellate court, arguing emergency relief and a reinstatement of the temporary injunction were needed to "prevent imminent and irreparable harm."

Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. They are betting that the unfiltered style that has brought Platner widespread attention as someone who could help Democrats reach young men will backfire with women.
