The ACLU sued the Trump administration on behalf of the LGBTQ advocacy group PFLAG National earlier this month. The suit, filed in Maryland federal court, argued that Trump’s executive order withholding funding from groups that “promote gender ideology” or provide trans people under 19 with gender-affirming care was unconstitutional since Congress had already appropriated the money.
In an oral order issued Thursday, Judge Brendan Hurson prohibited federal agencies from holding back funding for organizations that provide gender-affirming care to patients younger than 19. The case is ongoing.
