Trump Humiliated as Judges Rule Trans Military Ban Unlawful

The Trump administration has been dealt another legal blow, with a federal court ruling that the president illegally banned transgender troops from military service.

A divided panel of appeals court judges ruled on Monday that Donald Trump’s executive order to exclude transgender troops from military service likely violated their constitutional rights, and was driven by a desire to harm transgender people.
