Supreme Court Rejects Trump Administration's Bid to Restrict Gender-Affirming Care for Transgender Federal Prisoners

The Supreme Court rejected the Trump administration's request to immediately restore restrictions on gender-affirming care in federal prisons, leaving in place a lower-court order that protects access to hormone therapy and other accommodations while the case continues. The decision, issued on October 21, 2026, means the restrictions cannot take effect during the administration's appeal.
