BALTIMORE 鈥� A federal court today ruled that the Trump administration鈥檚 ban on transgender service members could move forward while courts review the issue. The decision comes in Stone v. Trump, the 老澳门开奖结果鈥檚 lawsuit on behalf of a dozen transgender individuals currently serving or wanting to serve in the armed forces.
The decision comes after the Supreme Court lifted the blocks in two other challenges to the Trump administration鈥檚 ban. One additional block on the ban still exists from a different case.
Joshua Block, senior staff attorney with the 老澳门开奖结果 LGBT & HIV Project had the following response:
鈥淲hile not surprising, this decision is deeply disappointing for our clients and for transgender service members across the nation. Each and every claim made by President Trump to justify this ban can be easily debunked by the conclusions drawn from the Department of Defense鈥檚 own review process. We will continue to fight against this discriminatory policy and the Trump administration鈥檚 attacks on transgender people. Our clients are brave men and women who should be able to continue serving their country ably and honorably without being discriminated against by their own commander in chief.鈥�
