Clayton McCallister is one of the trans people challenging Donald Trump's transgender military ban.
Nicolas Talbott has spent more than a decade preparing to be the best soldier he could be. He's now one of several trans military service members who are suing the Trump administration.
The judges may reconsider if the military takes action against trans service members.
Two federal judges have blocked the Pentagon's attempt to kick out trans service members.
“This litigation is not about a medical condition. A medical condition has not given its country decades of military service…People have. Transgender people,” U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes said.
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.
While a federal judge considers blocking the policy altogether, the Pentagon is moving forward.
The judge directed the federal government to notify both the court and plaintiffs if the Department of Defense issues any policy or guidance enforcing the challenged executive orders impacting transgender service members.
The department is accusing U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes of bias and misconduct.
