    Supreme Court allows Trump ban on transgender members of the military to take effect, for now

    WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed President Donald Trump’s administration to enforce a ban on transgender people in the military, while legal challenges proceed.

    The court acted in the dispute over a policy that presumptively disqualifies transgender people from military service.

    The court’s three liberal justices said they would have kept the policy on hold.

    Just after beginning his second term in January, Trump moved aggressively to roll back the rights of transgender people. Among the Republican president’s actions was an executive order that claims the sexual identity of transgender service members “conflicts with a soldier’s commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle, even in one’s personal life” and is harmful to military readiness.
