US Supreme Court allows Trump to enforce transgender military ban
The US Supreme Court temporarily allowed President Donald Trump to enforce his ban on transgender people serving in the military while legal challenges to the policy move forward.
Shortly after taking office in January, Trump signed a pair of executive orders that enabled the Pentagon to implement the ban.
But a lower federal court blocked the policy in March, ruling that the administration had failed to provide evidence that transgender troops posed a threat to military effectiveness.
In an emergency application to the court, the Trump administration argued that the lower court should show deference to the military’s judgement in matters of national defense.
