Attorneys for the Department of Justice filed a motion in federal district court late Tuesday seeking to prevent North Carolina officials from enforcing the anti-trans provisions of the state's controversial anti-LGBT law, known as House Bill 2.

Although the Justice Department has claimed, in a federal lawsuit announced in May, that HB 2 as a whole violates existing civil rights law, Tuesday's filing seeks to stop the state from implementing the portion of the law that requires transgender people to use public bathrooms, locker rooms, and other sex-segregated spaces that do not match their gender identity.
