Summary

The Supreme Court on Wednesday declined to lift a lower court's order blocking a Bureau of Prisons policy that would have tapered or ended hormone treatments and certain surgeries for transgender federal inmates, with Justices Thomas and Alito dissenting. The unsigned order means the administration must continue providing gender-affirming care while litigation over the policy continues.
