A judge tells federal agencies they can’t enforce anti-trans bias policies against Catholic groups

  • On June 5, a federal judge ruled that a rule issued by the federal health agency infringes upon the religious convictions of a Catholic group and issued a permanent injunction against its implementation.
  • This ruling followed a sequence of legal challenges including an earlier injunction overturned due to lack of standing, and a new suit naming members and injuries.
  • The judge found the rule requiring transgender procedures infringed on members' sincerely held religious beliefs and failed strict scrutiny, issuing a 19-page decision.
  • The decision prevents the association and its members from being forced to cover transgender procedures under the rule, while government lawyers argue religious exemptions now exist.
  • This ruling suggests ongoing tensions between religious freedom claims and anti-discrimination policies, especially regarding gender identity coverage in federal health regulations.
