Trump Administration Seeks Supreme Court Approval to Discharge Transgender Troops
The Trump administration has asked the US Supreme Court to allow the military to discharge about two dozen transgender service members by lifting a lower-court injunction that currently protects them. This legal move challenges lower-court rulings that blocked the discharges, which were based on President Trump's executive order banning transgender individuals from military service. The Justice Department argues for broad executive authority over military standards, while plaintiffs warn that discharges before trial could harm military readiness and the individuals involved.
