Five transgender US Armed Forces members ask judge for shield from ban

By Brendan Pierson Five transgender US Armed Forces members ask judge for shield from ban March 24 - Five transgender U.S. military members asked a judge on Monday to block actions against them under President Donald Trump's transgender ban, including administrative leave and exclusion from training exercises. The motion in Washington federal court was filed as the Trump administration is asking U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes to undo her order last week blocking enforcement of the ban nationwide. Reyes put that order on hold on Friday while she considers the government's motion, but said service members could ask for emergency orders if they faced specific, immediate harm from the ban. The five service members said they would face "immediate, serious, and irreparable harm" without a new temporary restraining order.
