The U.S. Supreme Court on October 21 denied the Trump administration's emergency request to let the Federal Bureau of Prisons stop gender-affirming medical care for transgender people in its custody. The unsigned order leaves a lower court's injunction in place, meaning hormone therapy and related treatment must continue while the legal fight moves forward.
The order did not explain. Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito said they would have granted the government's request, according to NPR's report published by Oregon Public Broadcasting.
