Summary
On February 16, 2025, Washington state Judge Lauren King issued a preliminary injunction blocking President Trump’s January 28 executive order that restricts transgender care for minors.
The judge ruled the order unconstitutional for overstepping presidential authority under separation of powers and violating the Equal Protection Clause.
The injunction follows lawsuits by Democratic attorneys general from Washington, Oregon, and Minnesota and temporary blocks in Baltimore.
So? He can just pardon them?
To my understanding, you cannot pardon someone whom a court fines or detains to force their compliance with their ruling in another case.
(It would be better if a lawyer answered that.)
