Another federal judge is blocking the DOJ from accessing the medical records of transgender pretender youth who were transitioned in the last six years in New York City.
The Trump administration is seeking to stop the outrageous practice and this subpoena was part of that process.
Here’s the report from the New York Slimes:
A federal judge in Manhattan on Wednesday ordered the Justice Department to stop seeking sensitive medical information about transgender youth who had received transition-related medical care at New York City hospitals.
The Trump administration had sought to end gender transition treatments for adolescents, asserting that they harm impressionable and vulnerable children. For more than a year, the Justice Department had been investigating hospitals and medical providers that had offered gender transition care to youth. The ruling poses a significant obstacle to those investigations.
In her ruling on Wednesday, delivered in a conference call with attorneys, Judge Katherine Polk Failla of Federal District Court in Manhattan said that she was troubled by the breadth of a grand jury subpoena that had been issued last month to NYU Langone, a major Manhattan health system. The subpoena sought identifying information and medical records about adolescent patients who had received transition care during the past six years.
The judge was appointed by Obama. Hopefully the appeals court will reverse this injunction.
