Federal judge contradicts Trump admin.'s 'incorrect' claim that no legal blocks remain for it to enforce a contentious policy to restrict many transgender individuals from the US armed forces starting on April 12. - NBCOUT
WASHINGTON — A federal judge on Tuesday contradicted the Trump administration's"incorrect" claim that no legal blocks remain for it to enforce a contentious policy to restrict many transgender individuals from the U.S. armed forces starting on April 12.
"Defendants were incorrect in claiming that there was no longer an impediment to the military's implementation" of the transgender policy, the judge wrote. That prompted the U.S. Defense Department to sign a memo on March 12 that would enforce its service limitations on transgender people, effective one month later.
