"Judge Mustafa Kasubhai stated that the declaration issued by the Trump administration, which claimed 'sex-rejecting procedures for children and adolescents are neither safe nor effective,' was beyond the authority of HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr."
"The multistate lawsuit led by Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield argued that the directive was not based on established medical science and represented an attempt to coerce healthcare providers through threats of federal funding consequences."
"The states contended that the declaration would create a chilling effect on healthcare providers, forcing them to choose between adhering to accepted medical standards and facing potential federal retaliation."
U.S. District Court Judge Mustafa Kasubhai will vacate a Trump administration declaration that deemed gender-affirming care for minors unsafe. The declaration prompted a multistate lawsuit led by Oregon's Attorney General, arguing it lacked scientific grounding and coerced providers. The states contended that the directive contradicted major medical organizations' consensus on the necessity of gender-affirming care. The ruling emphasized that Kennedy exceeded his authority by making broad statements about the safety of gender-affirming treatments.
