SCOTUS rejects Trump policy restricting treatment for transgender prison inmates

Source: NBC News

“The Supreme Court on Wednesday said the Trump administration cannot enforce a new policy that restricts treatment for transgender inmates in federal prison. The justices in a brief order rejected an emergency application filed by the administration that sought to block a lower court injunction against the proposal. There are about 1,000 transgender inmates in federal custody. … The court order included no explanation, saying only that two conservative justices, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, would have granted it.” (10/21/26)
