DOJ urges Supreme Court to uphold prison transgender treatment ban
The Justice Department has petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to block a lower court ruling that required the Bureau of Prisons to continue providing medical and social accommodations for transgender inmates. The DOJ argues that the BOP's updated policy, which bans hormone treatments, gender-affirming surgeries, and social accommodations not aligned with an inmate's biological sex, is lawful and based on reasoned decision-making. The case highlights ongoing legal disputes over healthcare policies for transgender inmates in federal prisons.
