Hogan Lovells, Jenner & Block Challenge Trump EOs Impacting Gender-Affirming Care

Hogan Lovells, Jenner & Block and civil rights advocacy groups have filed a lawsuit in Maryland federal court seeking to block President Donald Trump’s executive orders ending federal funding for gender-affirming medical care to children and 18-year-olds.

“These Executive Orders are unlawful and unconstitutional,” counsel representing several transgender plaintiffs and LGBTQ+ membership organization PFLAG Inc. wrote in the complaint. “Hospitals across the country, including those that have provided medical care to the Transgender Plaintiffs, have ended the provision of ongoing and essential gender affirming medical care to transgender patients under nineteen because of the Executive Orders.”

The complaint, filed Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, was surfaced by Law.com Radar.
