A federal judge temporarily halted the transfer of a transgender inmate to a men’s prison under President Donald Trump’s executive order limiting gender-related accommodations in federal facilities, according to the inmate’s legal counsel.

BOSTON (Reuters) - A U.S. judge has temporarily blocked federal prison officials from transferring a transgender woman to a men's facility and denying her access to gender-affirming care in accordance with an executive order issued by President Donald Trump, her lawyers said on Thursday.

Transgender service members represented by LGBTQ advocacy groups on Tuesday filed suit against the White House executive order that bans transgender people from serving in the military. The order signed late Monday rescinded Biden administration policies that permitted transgender service members to serve openly according to their gender identity.
