Two of Trump’s executive orders are at issue in the case
Washington Attorney General Nick Brown walks down the steps of a federal court in Seattle after a hearing over U.S. President Donald Trump's order against gender-affirming care for youth on Feb. 28.U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan to pull federal funding from institutions that provide gender-affirming care for transgender youth will remain blocked on a long-term basis under a federal judge’s ruling in Seattle late Friday.
The other, “Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation,” calls for the federal government to cut off research and educational grants for institutions, including medical schools and hospitals, that provide gender-affirming care to people under age 19. Several hospitals around the country ceased providing care, including puberty blockers and hormone treatments, following the order.
In her ruling Friday, the judge said the order was not limited to children or to irreversible treatments and that it doesn’t target medical interventions performed on cisgender children. “There are going to be young people who are going to take their lives if they can no longer receive this care,” he said.
The judge continued to press, saying she was “looking for a legitimate government interest” that would justify Trump’s orders.
