Appeals Court Blocks Removal of Transgender Troops, Allows Recruit Restrictions

Original: Appeals court blocks removal of transgender troops, but allows restrictions on recruits

A US appeals court has ruled that transgender service members currently in the military cannot be removed, but it allowed the government to keep restrictions in place for new transgender recruits. The decision partially preserves existing troops' ability to serve while leaving the door open to limits on future enlistment. The ruling is the latest development in ongoing legal battles over the Trump administration's policy on transgender military service.

Why now: A federal appeals court just issued a split ruling on a high-profile and politically contested military policy.
