The Supreme Court of the United States allows the ban on transgender troops to enter into force | Donald Trump News

The Supreme Court of the United States has allowed a ban on Transgender military members To be effective, while the legal challenges about the restriction are continued.

On Tuesday, the conservative majority of the court gave a non -signed command Cancellation of the injunction of a lower court that had blocked the ban on the effect.

The arrangement also showed that the three left-wing judges of the Supreme Court Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson-the emergency proposal wanted to refuse to cancel the injunction.

Since taking office for a second term on January 20, President Donald Trump has tried the right and visibility of Transgender people in the United States, including the restrictions on military service.

On his first day of the office, Trump signed an executive regulation in which he said that his government would only recognize “two genders, male and female”. On the same day, he raised an order from his predecessor, the Democrat Joe Biden, who made it possible to serve transgender troops in the military.

Then, on January 27th, he revealed a new one GuidelineCalled “prioritization of military excellence and willingness”. It was compared that transgender was with a “wrong” gender identity “of transgender.

Such an identity, added to the order, was not compatible with the “strict standards for military service”.

“The assumption of a gender identity that is compatible with the sexual conflict of an individual with the commitment of a soldier for an honorable, truthful and disciplined lifestyle, even in personal life,” said the executive.

“The claim of a man that he was a woman, and his demand that others honor this falsehood, does not vote with the humility and selflessness that a service member requires.”

This executive regulation triggered a number of legal challenges, including that at the center of the order of the Supreme Court on Tuesday.

In this case, seven active service members as well as a civil rights organization and another person who wanted to agree that a ban on their transgender identity was discriminatory and unconstitutional.

Proponents of the group point out that the seven together deserves more than 70 medals for their service. The senior plaintiff, Commander Emily Shilling, had spent almost two decades in the navy and flew 60 missions as a fighter pilot. Her lawyers estimate that almost 20 million US dollars were invested in their training during this time.

However, the Trump government has argued that the presence of transgender troops is liability for the military.

“Another massive victory in the Supreme Court!” Press spokeswoman of the White House Karoline Leavitt posted on social media after ordering on Tuesday.

“President Trump and (Minister of Defense Pete Hegseth) restore a military that focuses on willingness and lethality.”

Hegseth too posted A short message using an acronym for the Ministry of Defense: “No more trans @ dod”.

This is not the first time that Trump tried to exclude transgender people from the armed forces. In July 2017, Trump announced a similar guideline on the social media platform Twitter, which is now known as X. shortly after his first term.

“After advice with my generals and military experts, the US government will not accept or allow transgender people in the US military in any way,” wrote Trump in succeed Contributionsdivided by ellipses.

Similarly, the Supreme Court in 2019 let this ban put into force. Then, in 2021, Bidens Executive Order canceled it.

The Trump administration pointed out its earlier success at the Supreme Court in the emergency room to increase the injunction of the under court that blocked his latest ban on transgender troops.

This temporary injunction was the decision of a judge from the US district court in Tacoma, Washington: Benjamin Settle. Even a former army captain was appointed Setting in his position under the former Republican of President George W. Bush.

In March, Settle blocked the ban on transgender troops and said that the government -while the government pointed out in its submissions to “military judgment” -showed that its arguments showed an “absence of evidence” that the limitation had to do with military affairs.

“The government’s arguments are not convincing and it is not a particularly close question in this recording,” he wrote.

Other judges have also issued a disposition, including the district judge Ana Reyes in Washington, DC. In a case, she decided in which 14 members of the transgender service sued Trump’s ban and initiated the right to the same protection according to the law, anchored in the fifth change in the constitution.

“The cruel irony is that thousands of transgender services have sacrificed -some risk their lives -to ensure the very same property rights of the military ban to deny them,” wrote Reyes in their decision, which was issued shortly before Settle’s in March.

Of the more than 2.1 million troops that serve in the US military, less than 1 percent are estimated than transgender.

A high -ranking civil servant appreciated last year that there was only about 4,200 transgender service members in the active service, although the supporters say that the number could be an underpayment due to the risk of violence and discrimination against open transgender.

The human rights groups Lambda Legal and the Human Rights Campaign Foundation were among those who support members of the Transgender Service in their fight against Trump’s ban. The two organizations made a joint explanation on Tuesday, in which the decision of the Supreme Court in advance.

“By getting into force that this discriminatory ban comes into force while our challenge continues, the court has temporarily approved a policy that has nothing to do with military readiness and all prejudices,” they wrote.

“We remain steadfast in our conviction that this ban violates constitutional guarantees for the same protection and ultimately depressed.”
