The judge on Tuesday temporarily stops Trump's presidential order, which requires a federal prison transgender woman to be housed in male facilities and stops providing funding to care for gender. did.
After the hearing at Washington DC, early that day, the US District Judge Lois LambersAcknowledged a temporary suppression orderOn Tuesday evening, it was requested by three anonymous transgender women.
Lamberth has found that Trump's order is likely to succeed in the protection of the eighth amendment to the cruel and abnormal punishment.
“Of course, the further explanation of constitutional issues at the center of the dispute or at the center of the de facto discovery may eventually have different consequences, but the plaintiffs are most of their argument. Lambers wrote in his ruling, through a claim for the facts and the donated oath statement, to show the possibility of merit success. “
Lambers, an appointment of former President Reagan, said that the order has not reached other plaintiffs' debate that the order has violated the administrative procedures and the constitutional equality protection guarantee.
Trump signed an order as part of the execution action on the first day of his inauguration, and claimed to “protect women from gender ideology.” This lawsuit is now one of the three -do litigation that argue against the new administration's policies.
The Lambers ordered last week after a Boston Judge from preventing a prison official from relocating a transgender woman. However, the ruling was applied only to specific inmates, but new instructions in DC on Tuesday suppress the “implementation” to “implement” issues until the next stage of the case.
The Ministry of Justice claimed that there were multiple procedures in the plaintiff's case, as three transgender inmates called for emergency intervention in Lamvers. At a hearing on Tuesday, John Robinson, a judicial Ministry of Justice, noted that inmates could not run out of administrative rescue, and the decision to transfer facilities at the center of the lawsuit was not subject to judicial examination.
Robinson further argued that the court's intervention was too early, as the prison bureau (BOP) has revised the policy that matches Trump's command. He emphasized the data of the government, which shows only 16 transgender prisoners who are currently identifying 1,506 women under the BOP custody.
“Medical care has not been refused yet, and the claim is too early,” Robinson added.
The judge rejected these discussions and determined that the plaintiff's lawsuit was under rare exceptions that would allow their lawsuit to move forward.
The Ministry of Justice defended orders by emphasizing the legitimate interests of the government to protect the safety, security, and privacy of prisoners, but the Lamberas gives a temporary suspension order. He stated that he had met other factors considered by the court.
“The public interests for seeing the plaintiff immediately relocated to a male facility are at best,” Lambert wrote.
“And it is difficult to recognize the public interest in the immediate suspension of hormone therapy. Probably, a small amount that can be saved by the administration of these drugs, or an abstract interest in execution of execution. Except for, the judge continued, “On the other hand, the plaintiff's interest is not abstract.”
In both cases, Jennifer Levi, a representative of the plaintiff, issued an alarm at a hearing on Tuesday that the client would increase the risk of sexual assault.
Three inmates who appealed in the DC incident said they would move rapidly to a unit isolated from the general prison population after Trump's order, and would be transferred to a male facility. Levi said they were “fear” and could immediately lose access to hormone treatment.
“It is based on the premise that transgender people refuse to exist,” said Levi, a senior director of the transgender and a senior director of Quia's rights.
