Six active-duty transgender service members are suing President Donald Trump, newly sworn-in Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other administration officials following the commander-in-chief’s order that effectively bans trans people from serving in the U.S. military.
The federal lawsuit was filed in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, one day after Trump issued an executive order that opens the door for the Pentagon to remove trans troops by baselessly categorizing their gender identity as a physical and mental impediment to their military service.
