US Appeals Court blocks Pentagon from removing transgender troops, for now
A US Appeals Court on Monday said tRUMP’s misadministration could bar transgender people from enlisting into military service, but blocked the expulsion of current service members while a lawsuit plays out.
A panel of the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in a 2 - 1 ruling said the 2025 policy was unlawfully motivated “by the bare desire to harm a particular unpopular group.”
The Federal Judge who initially blocked the entire policy from being implemented said that the tRUMP’s misadministration policy amounted to sex discrimination and likely violated the Constitution’s guarantee of equal protection under the law.
