Federal Judge Halts Transgender Military Ban

This decision allows a lawsuit filed by 20 current and prospective service members to progress while preventing the order's implementation.

A federal judge has temporarily halted President Donald Trump's executive order that bars transgender individuals from serving in the U.S. military. This move comes as a legal dispute originating from 20 current and potential service members unfolds in court.
