Supreme Court Restores Trump’s Transgender Military Ban — for Now
The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed the Trump administration to institute its ban on transgenders serving in the military.
In an order that all three liberal justices opposed, the high court approved an emergency petition from the Trump administration to nix a lower court injunction that blocked the ban from taking effect.
President Trump had signed an executive order Jan. 27 discharging service members who identify as transgender, a policy that was similar to one he implemented in his first administration that the Supreme Court upheld in 2019.
Former President Joe Biden later scrapped the transgender ban that the first Trump administration had put in place.
Seven transgender military service members and one aspiring service member sued the Trump administration over the latest ban and were backed by the National Center for Lesbian Rights as well as GLAD Law. (Read more from “Supreme Court Restores Trump’s Transgender Military Ban — for Now” HERE)
