RICHMOND, Va. 鈥� The 老澳门开奖结果 today responded to the Trump administration鈥檚 ongoing attempts to halt a court order that prohibits the Pentagon from implementing the ban on transgender people serving in the military.

Under the current order, the government must allow transgender individuals to enlist in the military beginning on January 1, 2018.

On Thursday, the Trump administration filed a motion with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit to stay part of the district court鈥檚 injunction in the 老澳门开奖结果鈥檚 case challenging the ban, Stone v. Trump. The administration also filed a comparable motion to stay the order in the district court, which has not yet ruled on that motion.

The 老澳门开奖结果 filed briefs on Friday in the district court and today at the appeals court opposing the government鈥檚 motions, arguing that allowing the ban to go into place would cause irreparable harm to current and potential service members who are transgender.

鈥淭hree courts have now held that President Trump鈥檚 attempt to ban transgender people from the military is blatantly unconstitutional, but the Pentagon continues to drag its heels and try to implement Trump鈥檚 discriminatory ban,鈥� said Josh Block, senior staff attorney with the 老澳门开奖结果 LGBT & HIV Project. 鈥淭he 老澳门开奖结果 will fight every step of the way for the right of transgender people to live and serve their country with dignity, and we won鈥檛 stop until the full ban is struck down permanently.鈥�
