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.
That assumes they still have the house and senate in 2028. If they’re going to do that they’ll do it before the midterms. Their majorities in both houses are razer thin, and the incumbent party almost always loses ground in the midterms. Trump wont allow them to hamstring them for his final two years in office
