The Supreme Court in a brief order Tuesday allowed the Trump administration to take actions to implement a ban on transgender members of the U.S. military, which could include discharges.
The unsigned order granted an application from the Trump administration to lift a preliminary injunction issued by a federal judge in Washington, who ruled in favor of a group of transgender servicemembers who sued to stop their discharges.
The judge found in March that the executive order that spurred the ban likely violated the Constitution’s guarantee of due process, and that ruling was upheld by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit.
