A federal court in Washington, D.C., is barring President Donald Trump from changing the government’s policy on the service of transgender people in the U.S. military, the Associated Press reported Monday. U.S. District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly wrote Monday that transgender members of the military would likely win a lawsuit against Trump and his effort to change the policy and blocked the administration from reversing course, the AP reported. In August, Trump said he intended to scrap a 2016 policy that allowed transgender troops to serve openly, preferring to return to the pre-2016 policy under which troops could be discharged for being transgender.
