A district judge has issued a temporary restraining order preventing the Trump administration from obtaining the health records of transgender children treated at New York University Langone and Mount Sinai hospitals. The order will remain effective at least until July 8. The U.S. Attorney's Office in the Northern District of Texas had issued a grand jury subpoena seeking confidential information about patients under 18, as stated by NYU Langone. District Judge Katherine Polk Failla noted that the administration has faced challenges in court regarding similar requests. Shannon Minter, legal director of the National Center for LGBTQ Rights, criticized the subpoena as an attempt to intimidate medical providers. Three families of transgender children have filed a lawsuit alleging that the subpoena violates their children's rights. Chase Strangio, Co-Director of the ACLU’s LGBTQ & HIV Rights Project, expressed gratitude for the court's decision to protect the privacy of transgender individuals and their families.
