Trump Administration Asks Supreme Court to Lift Order Blocking Transgender Inmate Healthcare Policy

The Trump Administration has petitioned the Supreme Court to lift a lower court order that is blocking the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) from implementing new restrictions on healthcare for transgender inmates. The administration cited security concerns to justify its intervention, arguing that the lower court's order causes irreparable harm by nullifying BOP's authority to maintain institutional security. The new policy would prohibit gender-transition surgeries, hormone therapy, and certain social accommodations for transgender inmates.
