Appeals Court Says 28 Trannies Can Stay For Now

Executive Briefing

• Rules the D.C. Circuit Court 2-1 to temporarily block Trump administration from dismissing 28 transgender service members
• Extends protection only to current plaintiffs for now, but a broader hearing covering all transgender troops is scheduled this month
• Allows the administration to continue barring new transgender recruits while the case moves forward
• Notes majority opinion finds little evidence transgender troops harm military readiness, citing policy as politically motivated
• Signals possible Supreme Court intervention, as justices previously overturned a similar appeals court ruling last year
