Court partially blocks Trump's transgender military ban
By Rebecca Kheel - 10/30/17 01:00 PM EDT
A federal court has blocked President Trump in part from changing the military's transgender policy as a case against his ban works its way through court.
A judge in the U.S. district court for D.C. ruled Monday that Trump's directive changing the transgender policy back to what it was before June 2016 and banning new transgender recruits from enlisting cannot be enforced while the case is being reviewed in court.
However, the judge denied the plaintiff's motion to block the ban on funds for gender reassignment surgery.
