The Trump Administration on Thursday asked the Supreme Court to allow the enforcement of President Donald Trump’s executive order which bans transgender individuals from serving in the military.

The Trump Administration seeks to enforce the ban while cases in Washington state and Washington, DC proceed, The Associated Press reported.
Justices on the high court asked plaintiffs in the case to file a response brief by next week, indicating that they could move quickly on the issue.
“Absent a stay, the district court’s universal injunction will remain in place for the duration of further review in the Ninth Circuit and in this Court – a period far too long for the military to be forced to maintain a policy that it has determined, in its professional judgment, to be contrary to military readiness and the Nation’s interests,” U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer said in the Thursday court filing.
Trump’s executive order came as part of a planned reorientation of the military toward war fighting and away from the diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) priorities of the Biden Administration.
On March 26, U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes denied the administration’s motion to dissolve her earlier injunction blocking the Pentagon’s transgender troop ban. The decision came two days before the ban was slated to take effect.
Transgender individuals had been allowed to serve openly since 2016 under a policy enacted during the Obama Administration.
During his first term, Trump reversed that policy with a new directive, allowing exceptions only for those already undergoing gender transition under Obama-era rules.
The Supreme Court ultimately allowed Trump’s ban to take effect.
Joe Biden repealed the ban shortly after he was installed in office in January 2021, reinstating open service for transgender individuals.
In a post to Truth Social, Trump said the courts are “totally out of control.”
Can you believe it? A Judge ruled against us on 530,000 Illegal Migrants (that Joe Biden flew over the Border in his program to transport Illegals into the Country by airplane) saying that they can’t be looked at as a group, but that each case has to be tried individually. Based on the Court System, that would take approximately 100 years.
What is going on with our Courts? They are totally OUT OF CONTROL. They seem to hate “TRUMP” so much, that anything goes! We are trying to bring our Country back from the destruction caused by the Democrats and Crooked Joe Biden. I won on a Policy of Common Sense, and what Common Sense do we have when we have to have 530,000 trials? This Radicalized Judge is saying that Sleepy Joe Biden can fly more than half a million Illegals into America, IN ONE DAY, but we have to hold many years of long and tedious trials to fly each and every one of them back home. Where is the JUSTICE here???
