Federal judge in D.C. blocks part of Trump Administration's transgender military ban

Federal judge in D.C. blocks part of Trump Administration's transgender military ban | 30 Oct 2017 | A federal judge in Washington blocked the Trump Administration's proposed transgender military ban, writing in a strongly worded opinion that the policy "does not appear to be supported by any facts." U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly issued the preliminary injunction Monday, finding that a group of transgender service members would have a strong chance of prevailing in their lawsuit to have the ban declared unconstitutional. The injunction remains in place until the lawsuit is resolved or a judge lifts it.
