Judge Blocks FBI Probe Into Trans Patients

A New York judge has slapped a temporary halt on federal prosecutors in Texas seeking medical records of transgender patients, calling the move “most egregious” and unconstitutional — a direct strike against what she sees as an effort to demonize and erase a vulnerable group. The Justice Department sought records from NYU Langone and other hospitals over potential drug misbranding, but the judge slammed the subpoenas as targeting already marginalized individuals over a six-year span. She granted class-action status, citing violations of privacy rights and drawing historical parallels to dangerous precedent. With 27 states restricting gender-affirming care for minors and major medical groups backing it, this ruling underscores the escalating national tension over transgender rights and medical confidentiality — and a July hearing will decide if this temporary win becomes permanent.
