Judge Terry A. Doughty said the rule goes against the original purpose of Title IX by protecting trans students, so he blocked its enforcement in Louisiana, Mississippi, Idaho, and Montana.
He blocked Title IX enforcement in Louisiana, Mississippi, Idaho and Montana, but Wikipedia says:
The United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana (in case citations, W.D. La.) is a United States federal court with jurisdiction over approximately two thirds of the state of Louisiana, with courts in Alexandria, Lafayette, Lake Charles, Monroe, and Shreveport. These cities comprise the Western District of Louisiana.
I’m very confused here…
He blocked Title IX enforcement in Louisiana, Mississippi, Idaho and Montana, but Wikipedia says:

And he is “chief judge for the Western District of Louisiana” according to the article.
So how can he block it in Idaho?
Also, worse news:
I assume that’s why it was done in this court.

My understanding was that those four sued together and the case was filed in LA
Wow. That should totally not be allowed.
