By Dietrich Knauth NEW YORK (Reuters) -A U.S. judge on Tuesday ruled the U.S. Bureau of Prisons must keep providing transgender inmates gender-affirming care, despite an executive order President Donald Trump signed on his first day back in office to halt funding for such care.

A judge says the federal Bureau of Prisons must keep providing hormone therapy to hundreds of transgender inmates following an executive order signed by President Donald Trump that led to a disruption in medical treatment.

A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction against the Trump administration’s policy of restricting gender-affirming treatment for transgender inmates.
