9th Circuit Court of Appeals Stacked with Leftist Judges Denies Trump Request to Pause Lower Court’s Block on Transgender Military Ban

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has denied a request from the Trump administration to pause a lower court order that blocks the ban on transgender individuals in the military.

• A panel of judges on the 9th Circuit denied the Department of Justice's (DOJ) request to stop a lower court's decision against Trump's transgender military ban.

• Last week, a federal judge issued a temporary block on the ban, which President Trump announced through executive orders aimed at excluding individuals based on gender dysphoria.

• U. S. District Judge Benjamin Hale Settle issued a nationwide preliminary injunction, stating the arguments from the Trump administration were not convincing.

• The Trump DOJ filed an appeal but was unsuccessful in obtaining an administrative stay from the 9th Circuit.

• The three judges on the panel included Wallace Tashima, John Owens, and Roopali Desai, all appointed by Democratic presidents, who voted against the request.

• Two weeks prior, Judge Ana Reyes, another federal judge, issued a temporary injunction against the military ban, reinforcing the court's stance on the issue.

The refusal by the 9th Circuit to grant an administrative stay indicates a significant setback for the Trump administration’s efforts to enforce the transgender military ban. The legal battle over this policy continues as the case moves forward in the courts.
