Trump's DOJ can't get names and medical files of trans youth in California, for now

Reported byNPR Health ↗·Sourced by Goodlede

What backs it

A court has blocked (at least temporarily) the Department of Justice from obtaining patient names and medical records of transgender youth in California, protecting medical privacy and healthcare access during litigation.

What it doesn’t mean

This is a preliminary injunction ('for now'), not a final ruling. The case may proceed and the outcome could change. It also doesn't address the underlying DOJ subpoena strategy or its ultimate success in other jurisdictions.
