A federal judge on Friday blocked the Trump administration from enforcing its policy barring trans people from updating the sex marker on their passports.
U.S. District Judge Julia E. Kobick in Boston sided the with American Civil Liberties Union’s push for a preliminary injunction while the lawsuit continues.
“The Executive Order and the Passport Policy on their face classify passport applicants on the basis of sex and thus must be reviewed under intermediate judicial scrutiny,” Kobick wrote in the partial injunction. “That standard requires the government to demonstrate that its actions are substantially related to an important governmental interest. The government has failed to meet this standard.”
