Justice Department Appeals to Supreme Court to Reinstate Ban on Transgender Inmate Care

The Justice Department has appealed to the Supreme Court to enforce a Bureau of Prisons policy that bans hormone treatments and social accommodations for transgender inmates, citing security concerns.
This appeal follows a federal court ruling that deemed the Bureau's policy likely arbitrary and capricious, requiring continued care for transgender inmates.
The administration claims that the lower court's order causes irreparable harm and undermines institutional security, which it argues outweighs the benefits of providing gender-affirming healthcare.
