Supreme Court Blocks Trump Bid to Cut Transgender Inmate Health Care
Original: Supreme Court Denies Trump Administration Request to Withhold Health Care from Incarcerated Transgender People
The US Supreme Court has rejected a request from the Trump administration that would have allowed federal Bureau of Prisons facilities to withhold gender-affirming health care from incarcerated transgender people. Civil rights groups, including the ACLU, welcomed the denial, calling it a preservation of medically necessary care behind bars. The ruling leaves lower-court protections in place while broader litigation over transgender health policy continues.
Why now: The decision is a significant setback for the administration's efforts to restrict transgender health care and affects a vulnerable prison population.
