Case Summary

This case challenged the second Trump Administration's Executive Order 14166 (“Executive Order”), which mandated the transfer of transgender women incarcerated in federal women’s prisons to men’s facilities and denied access to gender-affirming care. On February 10, 2025, an adult transgender woman incarcerated in a women’s federal prison filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of the District of Columbia against President Donald Trump in his official capacity, the Depart…

This case challenged the second Trump Administration's Executive Order 14166 (“Executive Order”), which mandated the transfer of transgender women incarcerated in federal women’s prisons to men’s facilities and denied access to gender-affirming care.

On February 10, 2025, an adult transgender woman incarcerated in a women’s federal prison filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of the District of Columbia against President Donald Trump in his official capacity, the Department of Justice, and the Federal Bureau of Prisons (“BOP”) under the Declaratory Judgment Act, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Administrative Procedure Act.  Represented by the GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders, the National Center for Lesbian Rights, and private counsel, the plaintiff alleged that she was removed from her minimum-security facility, deprived access to her belongings, and placed in the Secure Housing Unit (“SHU”) within the men’s prison, which she described in her complaint as a “shoebox.” The plaintiff alleged violations of the Fifth Amendment, the Eighth Amendment, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Administrative Procedure Act. The plaintiff sought declaratory and injunctive relief to enjoin enforcement of Sections 4(a) and 4(c) of Executive Order 14166 and require defendants to maintain the plaintiff’s housing and medical treatment consistent with the status quo before January 20, 2025; plaintiff also sought attorney's fees and other expenses. The case was assigned to Chief Judge James Boasberg. 

On February 13, 2025, the plaintiff’s motion to proceed under a pseudonym was granted. 

On February 21, the plaintiff filed a motion for temporary restraining order (TRO) and preliminary injunction, seeking to enjoin Defendants from enforcing Sections 4(a) and 4(c) of Executive Order 14168 and to maintain her housing and medical treatment consistent with the status quo before the EO. 

On February 24, 2025, the plaintiff's motion for TRO and Preliminary Injunction were granted. The court ordered that "the defendants shall maintain and continue the plaintiff's housing status and medical care as they existed immediately prior to January 20, 2025."

On February 28, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint, adding four more plaintiffs. Also on February 28, 2025, the plaintiff filed another motion for TRO and PI, requesting relief for the additional plaintiffs. On March 3, 2025, the court granted this motion. 

On April 2, 2025, the defendants appealed the February 24 and March 3rd orders as to the TRO and Preliminary Injunction to the DC Circuit (Docket No. 25-5101). On April 30, the defendants filed a consent motion to stay proceedings in the district court until August 30. The motion was granted on May 13.

On May 16, plaintiffs filed an unopposed motion to renew the PI for an additional 90 days, from May 25 through August 23, 2025. The court granted the motion and ordered that defendants be enjoined, during that period, from enforcing Sections 4(a) and 4(c) of Executive Order 14168 against the plaintiffs. The court further ordered that defendants maintain plaintiffs' housing placements in women's facilities and continue providing treatment for gender dysphoria. 

Defendants appealed the order to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit (Docket No. 25-5210) on June 4. On June 12, the Court of Appeals consolidated this case with two related transgender rights cases, Doe v. McHenry and Moe v. Trump. 

This case is ongoing.
