What legal challenges is Trump facing regarding his executive orders targeting transgender Americans?
Trump is facing multiple legal challenges to his executive orders on transgender rights. A federal judge has temporarily blocked his order to place trans women in men's prisons, ruling the plaintiffs showed the orders likely violated constitutional protections against cruel and unusual punishment. Additionally, families and doctors have sued to block two other executive orders: one defining sex as only male or female, and another limiting Medicare and Medicaid funding for gender-affirming care for people under 19. The lawsuits argue these orders are unlawful and unconstitutional because they would withhold congressionally authorized funding and violate parental rights and anti-discrimination laws.
