Summary

A federal judge temporarily blocked Trump’s executive order restricting gender-affirming care for transgender minors.

The executive order barred federal insurance programs like Medicaid and TRICARE from covering such care. Families and advocacy groups sued, arguing it was unconstitutional and discriminatory.

Judge Brendan Hurson issued a 14-day restraining order, halting the policy. Some hospitals have already paused care in response.

Trump’s directive marks a sharp reversal from Biden’s policies, despite major medical organizations supporting gender-affirming care.
