The Justice Department asks the U.S. Supreme Court to allow (at least temporarily) a Bureau of Prisons policy that limits medical and supportive care for transgender inmates. The request seeks to revive the policy while litigation continues, according to reporting from both outlets.
CBS News and Fox News describe the same core action: the Trump administration’s DOJ urges the Supreme Court to reinstate restrictions related to transgender treatment in federal prisons. Both reports indicate the policy would end or reduce certain medical interventions and social accommodations for transgender people in custody. Fox News characterizes the request as protecting a ban on transgender treatments, specifically citing hormone therapy and related accommodations. CBS News frames the request more generally as allowing a policy that cuts off medical care and social accommodations for transgender inmates. Neither outlet, in the provided text, details specific legal arguments, the lower-court history, or the status of any emergency relief beyond the DOJ’s request to the Supreme Court.
