Another federal judge blocks Trump to ban transgender troops in the military: “Government arguments are not convincing”
US Judge in Washington State has blocked the implementation of President Donald Trump A command of a ban on transgender people to serve in the armythe second prohibition throughout the country against policy in the same weeks.
On Thursday, the Benjamin Settlement Judge in Tacoma came from the U.S. District Court Judge in Tacoma in a case that brought several long-term military members of transgender persons who say the ban on the offensive and discriminatory and that their cracking will cause permanent damage to their career and reputation.
In his 65 pages, Settle-famous President George W. Busha and former captain in the US soldier, General Corps Corps Corps, said that the administration did not offer an explanation of why transgender troops, which have been able to open openly without proof of problems in the last four years, should be forbidden.
“Government arguments are not convincing, and this is not a particularly close question on this record,” Settle wrote. “The unreliable reliance of the Government to respect the military verdict is unjustified that there is no evidence that supports the” army “of the new judgment reflected in military prohibition.”
American District Judge Ana Reyes in Washington, DC, similarly issuedThe command blocks politicsLast week, but then she temporarily appointed her own verdict to wait for the Government’s appeal. Appeal in the United States for Columbia County on Thursday, he told the parties that he would consider the proceedings of the verdict if “a action that adversely affects” members of transgender services happens.
In a limited verdict on Monday, a new Jersey judgeProhibited air forcesFrom the removal of two transgender men, saying that they have shown that their separation will cause permanent damage to their career and reputation that no monetary settlement can be repaired.
Trump signed an executive order on January 27, who claims to be the sexual identity of members of transgender services “Conflict with military commitment to the honorable, true and disciplined lifestyle, even in one’s personal life” and is harmful to military readiness.
In response, Minister of Defense of the Pete Hegsetthbetrayed politicsThis assumed to disqualify transgender people from military service.
“They can make the right number of retreats. They can make the right amount of pressure. They can shoot straight,” said Sasha Buchert, a lawyer from the Lambda Legal Civic Rights Company, after arguments on Monday in Tacomi. “Still, they were told they had to leave the army simply because of what they were.”
Those who challenge the politics and Trump’s executive order in Tacoma include the league of gender justice, which is among their members of transgender troops and several transgender members of the army. Among them is the US Navy CMDR. Emily “Hawking” Shilling, a 42-year-old woman who has served over 19 years, including 60 missions as a combat aviation in Iraq and Afghanistan.
In his judgment, Settle emphasized her case.
“There is no claim and there is no evidence that it is now, or ever it has been a pity for the cohesion of its unit, or military deadlyness or willingness, or that it is mentally or physically incapable of continuing its service,” he wrote. “There is no claim and there is no evidence that Shilling is dishonest or selfish itself or lacking humility or integrity. However, it is absent for a ban, it will immediately be released solely because it is transgender.”
During the argument on Monday, the lawyer of the Ministry of Justice Jason Lynch insisted that the President is entitled to military affiliation and suggested that the prohibition of the service was not as wide as prosecutors suggested.
The judge pushed Lynch with questions, noting that the Government had not offered any evidence that allowing transgender troops to serve openly, caused any problems with military readiness.
Thousands of transgender people serve in the military, but represent less than 1% of the total number of active service members.
In 2016, the Ministry of Defense policy enabled transgender people to open openly in the military. During Trump’s first term in the White House, a Republican issued a directive to ban the members of transgender services, with the exception for some of those who had already begun the transition under the blessed rules that were in effect during Obama’s administration. Supreme Courtenabled this prohibition to take effect. President Joe Biden, Democrat,Abolished itWhen he came to his duty.
The rules imposed by Hegsetth do not include such exceptions.
