A judge on Sunday found that one of President Donald Trump's executive orders is unconstitutional for multiple reasons.

U.S. District Court Judge Lauren King was previously reported to have blocked Trump with a temporary restraining order targeting his executive order seeking to end all federal funding for hospitals providing gender-affirming care to children.

Now, King has found that the order "is unconstitutional in multiple ways, including usurping Congress' power of the purse," according to Kyle Cheney, senior legal affairs reporter for Politico.

Cheney added, "The judge says Trump's EO on transgender health care would create a perverse situation in which a cisgender person could get puberty blockers to treat cancer but a transgender person could not get puberty blockers to treat cancer."
