Second judge orders longer-term block on Trump orders on transgender youth health care

On March 4, a federal judge in Maryland extended a block on President Donald Trump's executive order affecting transgender youth health care, stating it imposed illegal conditions on federal funding.

The lawsuit was brought by PFLAG Inc. On behalf of seven youths whose treatments were interrupted due to the executive order.
Hurson ruled that the executive order unlawfully conditioned federal funding on denying care to transgender youth.
