AUSTIN, Texas — A Texas judge on Friday issued an injunction prohibiting the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services from pursuing child abuse investigations into two more families with transgender children.
Judge Jan Soifer granted the request for a temporary injunction to halt the investigations into the two families who allow or help their trans children to receive gender-affirming care.
The judge delayed a decision on whether an injunction could be implemented in a more wide-reaching freeze on child abuse investigations launched into all families who are members of the national nonprofit LGBT group PFLAG.
