Event Summary

A federal judge, Royce Lamberth, ruled that the United States — Federal Bureau of Prisons must continue providing hormone therapy and social accommodations to transgender inmates, effectively blocking an executive order signed by Donald Trump. Donald Trump's order, issued shortly after his inauguration, aimed to restrict federal funds for gender-affirming care and prevent transgender women from being housed in women's prisons. The ruling came after a lawsuit filed by transgender inmates, including Alishea Kingdom, who experienced disruptions in their medical treatment. Judge Royce Lamberth's decision emphasized that federal law prohibits arbitrarily depriving inmates of medically appropriate care and certified a class of plaintiffs to include all federal transgender inmates diagnosed with gender dysphoria. The ruling is a significant blow to Donald Trump's efforts to roll back protections for transgender individuals.
