A U.S. federal court has blocked a Trump-era policy aimed at denying passports to transgender and non-binary Americans. Judge Julia Kobick of the U.S. District Court in Boston issued a preliminary injunction expanding on her earlier April ruling, which had limited the block to six specific plaintiffs. The court cited constitutional violations as the basis for the injunction. Previously, in his second term, Trump had signed an executive order declaring that the U.S. government would only recognize two genders, and that gender could not be changed.
