Children's hospitals in Minnesota are fully reinstating their gender-affirming care programs for people under 18 after parts of them were paused for over a month. The healthcare centers had temporarily suspended parts of their programs after the Trump administration threatened the hospitals' federal funding in December.
After the declaration, Minnesota was among the 21 states (plus D.C.) that came together to sue HHS in response. The lawsuit, led by New York Attorney General Letitia James, said, "Health care services for transgender young people remain legal, and the federal government cannot intimidate or punish the providers who offer them."
In March, Oregon-based federal judge, Mustafa Kasubhai, ruled that the administration had overreached with its declaration, providing preliminary relief to hospitals and doctors who provide gender-affirming care to minors.
The judge also noted that the declaration did not allow for proper notice periods or hearings, and implied that it was an attempt to circumvent proper policy change procedure.
In his ruling, Judge Kasubhai wrote, "The notion that 'I will go forward and issue a declaration and see if we can get away with it' is not a principle of governance that adheres to the overarching commitment to a democratic republic that requires the rule of law to be regarded and respected and honored as a sacred."
