A divided panel of appeals court judges has ruled that a Trump administration policy illegally banned transgender troops from military service.
An appeals court threw out a lawsuit brought by 22 young people that challenged President Trump’s executive orders setting federal energy policy, ruling on Tuesday that federal judges have no power to grant their request. A U.S. appeals court on Monday blocked the Trump administration from expelling transgender military service members while a lawsuit plays out. The decision was split, allowing the Trump administration to continue barring transgender people from enlisting.
Circuit found that War Secretary Pete Hegseth had acted unconstitutionally when he ordered a ban on transgender-identifying members of the military. The post Watch Live: The WAR Zone Podcast With Wayne Allyn Root Presented by The Gateway Pundit-Appeals Court Sides with Crazed Biden Judge-Rules Pentagon Illegally Banned Transgender Troops appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
The Hill reported the story as "Appeals court tosses kids’ challenge to Trump energy orders." Al Jazeera English reported the story as "US court upholds injunction against Trump policy banning transgender troops." New Hampshire Union Leader reported the story as "UPDATE 1-US court blocks Pentagon from removing transgender troops, for now."
