Orr. The Court\u2019s unsigned order stayed a June 17 ruling by a federal judge in Massachusetts that had halted the policy nationwide, allowing it to take effect while the case proceeds through the appeals process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The majority said the government is likely to prevail on the merits, writing that listing sex at birth \u201cno more offends equal protection principles than displaying country of birth,\u201d and that the policy merely reflects \u201ca historical fact\u201d without discriminating against any group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The justices also said the injunction interfered with an executive policy \u201cwith foreign affairs implications concerning a government document.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, joined by Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, dissented. In a lengthy opinion, Jackson criticized the Court for permitting \u201cthe immediate infliction of injury\u201d on transgender Americans, arguing that the government failed to show any urgent need to implement the new rule. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brown Jackson warned that the policy forces transgender people to use documents that could expose them to \u201charassment and bodily invasions\u201d during travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The passport policy stems from Executive Order 14168, signed by President Donald Trump on January 20, which redefined sex in federal law as an immutable biological category based on reproductive anatomy at conception. It directed all agencies to adopt the same definition across identification documents and data systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The order marked one of several actions taken by the administration this year to roll back LGBTQ+ protections. Other measures have included reinstating the ban on transgender military service, restricting gender-affirming care, and halting federal funding for programs that reference \u201cgender ideology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The case will now return to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit for further proceedings. The stay will remain in place while the government\u2019s appeal is pending and until the Supreme Court decides whether to hear the case on the merits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to enforce a policy requiring that all new U.S. passports list an individual\u2019s sex as assigned at birth, granting the government\u2019s request to lift a lower court injunction that had blocked the rule.
