Appeals court sides with War Dept on transgender military ban
The U.S. Appeals Court for the D.C. Circuit on Tuesday sided with the Department of War in an ongoing dispute over the Pentagon’s transgender ban.
The three-judge panel dissolved the lower court’s order staying the ban, but did issue a stay pending appeal.
Hegseth, earlier this year, imposed a sweeping ban on transgender military service as part of a broader effort to raise physical and mental standards in the service branches and to remove political elements from military culture.
President Donald Trump’s Department of Defense imposed a more limited ban in his first term.
