Summary
On February 16, 2025, Washington state Judge Lauren King issued a preliminary injunction blocking President Trump’s January 28 executive order that restricts transgender care for minors.
The judge ruled the order unconstitutional for overstepping presidential authority under separation of powers and violating the Equal Protection Clause.
The injunction follows lawsuits by Democratic attorneys general from Washington, Oregon, and Minnesota and temporary blocks in Baltimore.
There is still hope
Nah, don’t count on that alone. At best, it’s insufficient, and that would be without a Supreme Court run by batshit morons.
Yeah it’s only a matter of time before judges start falling out of windows. That’s the next step.
“Presidential act” “not illegal”
Not quite… Remember when the legal system found Trump guilty of 34 felonies?
Yeah, he was not punished.
