US judge blocks DOJ from obtaining transgender care records from New York hospitals
The ruling protects records for at least 40 patients at NYU Langone and blocks a Justice Department probe tied to potential drug misbranding.
- On Wednesday, Judge Katherine Polk Failla issued a temporary restraining order blocking federal prosecutors in Texas from seizing Transgender patients' medical records from New York hospitals.
- Failla accused the Justice Department of using criminal probes to bypass civil limits after judges repeatedly rejected similar requests through civil channels, calling the effort unconstitutional.
- The subpoenas targeted sensitive records for at least 40 individuals treated at NYU Langone Hospitals between January 1, 2020 and May 5, 2026, violating Fourth and Fifth Amendments.
- Failla granted class-action status to the plaintiffs, while lawyer Omar Gonzalez-Pagan called the ruling "a victory for the basic privacy of our clients and all families like theirs."
- A July 8 hearing will determine whether to impose a preliminary injunction while Twenty-seven states have limited Gender-affirming care following a June 2025 Supreme Court ruling under the Constitution.
