Trump administration asks Supreme Court to OK transgender inmate policy

The Trump administration has requested the Supreme Court to lift a judicial block on a Bureau of Prisons policy. This BOP policy restricts transgender inmates' access to sex-change surgeries and hormone treatments, requiring those currently receiving such care to follow a tapering plan. Additionally, the DOJ seeks to end social accommodations, including hair-removal services. The administration is asking the court to revive these restrictions on medical interventions and social support for transgender inmates immediately.
