בית המשפט העליון החזיר לתוקף את האיסור של טראמפ על שירות טרנסג'נדרים בצבא

The Supreme Court is allowing the Trump administration to enforce its ban on transgender individuals in the military while it appeals a lower court's ruling. NTD's Arlene Richards has more. In a brief order on Tuesday, the Supreme Court paused the lower court's injunction on a Trump policy that aims to disqualify transgender individuals from military service. The pause will remain in place until after the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals rules on the administration's appeal of the injunction. The higher court said in the order that the pause could be extended if the appeals court's ruling is appealed to the Supreme Court for full review. President Trump's January executive order announcing the ban states the adoption of a gender identity inconsistent with an individual's sex conflicts with a soldier's commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle, even in one's personal life. In a social media post, White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt cheered the Supreme Court's order as a massive victory. She said President Trump and Secretary Pete Hegseth are restoring a military that is focused on readiness and lethality, not DEI or woke gender ideology. The president banned transgender individuals from serving in the military during his first term, and the Supreme Court allowed it to take effect in 2019. But former President Biden revoked that policy when he took office in 2021. Justices Kagan, Sotomayor, and Jackson said without explanation that they would have denied the application.
