- Trump administration petitions Supreme Court to reinstate transgender military service ban — The Trump administration, through Solicitor General John Sauer, filed a 39-page brief with the U.S. Supreme Court requesting reinstatement of an executive order banning transgender troops from military service. The petition follows rulings by federal judges in Tacoma, Washington; Washington D.C.; and New Jersey that struck down or blocked the ban as discriminatory. The executive order, signed by Trump and implemented by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in February 2025, asserts that transgender identity harms military readiness and conflicts with service values. The administration argues the policy serves national security interests.
