Re: Trump administration issues a general ban on transgender military service.

Bericht door noumoe »

The Trump administration asked a D.C.-based federal judge Friday to dissolve a previous injunction blocking the Pentagon's ban on transgender troops.

In a Friday filing, the government argued that President Donald Trump’s executive order barring transgender individuals from serving in the military is not an overarching ban but instead "turns on gender dysphoria – a medical condition – and does not discriminate against trans-identifying persons as a class."

The government cited new guidance the Department of Defense expects to implement, were it not for the ongoing litigation, that clarifies "the phrase ‘exhibit symptoms consistent with gender dysphoria’" solely applies to "'individuals who exhibit such symptoms as would be sufficient to constitute a diagnosis.'"

The filing cites a memo sent on March 21 with the new guidance.

Under the requirements, a party requesting to dissolve a preliminary injunction must demonstrate "a significant change either in factual conditions or in law" that shows that continued enforcement of the order would be "detrimental to the public interest."

On Wednesday, a federal judge denied the Trump administration’s efforts to ban transgender people from joining the military. The ban was set to go into effect on Friday. According to Fox News, the Department of Justice has already filed a notice of appeal to the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.

Biden appointee Washington, DC-based US District Judge Ana Reyes denied the government’s motion to dissolve her order that prevents the military from denying people who identify as transgender the ability to enlist in the military. On March 21, the Trump administration filed the motion arguing that the policy "turns on gender dysphoria – a medical condition – and does not discriminate against trans-identifying persons as a class."

The Trump administration on Thursday asked a U.S. appeals court to allow it to enforce a ban on transgender people serving in the military while it appeals a federal judge's order blocking the ban.

In an emergency motion filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, the administration said it was likely to prevail in proving that the ban "furthers the government's important interests in military readiness, unit cohesion, good order and discipline, and avoiding disproportionate costs."

The Supreme Court said Tuesday that the Trump administration can begin immediately enforcing a ban on transgender service members.

The decision is a major victory for President Donald Trump in his effort to get the high court to unlock various parts of his second-term agenda that have been held up by lower courts reviewing scores of legal challenges to his policies.

The court’s three liberal members publicly dissented from the court’s decision.
