Donald Trump's Department of Justice has had a difficult few days in court as the administration continues to try to ban transgender people from military service.
A New Jersey U.S. District Court judge stepped in to block the Pentagon from takinc action against two trans airmen.
The hearing comes as Judge Ana Reyes's injunction was scheduled to take effect.
Judge Ana Reyes rejected the Pentagon policy, saying it was "soaked in animus and dripping with pretext.”
New enlistments for transgender people are stopped, care for existing service members paused and promotions held up, according to the defense secretary’s latest memo.
The court ruled the law regulates conduct, not speech, and let the 2019 law stand.
