US Supreme Court Blocks Trump Transgender Inmate Limits
The US Supreme Court ruled against the Trump administration on Wednesday. The court said the administration cannot enforce the restriction.
The policy limits medical treatment for transgender inmates in federal prisons. The ruling requires the administration to keep providing gender-affirming care to inmates.
Care must continue while lawsuits over changing the policy go on. The administration tried to limit federal funding for this care. Inmates challenged the policy in court.
Klear Note — Gender-affirming care is medical treatment that supports someone's gender identity.
