The Trump administration has asked a federal judge to stay an order requiring that the military begin accepting transgender recruits on January 1.<\/p>\n
The Hill reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n \u201cSpecifically, Defendants request that the Court stay the portion of its preliminary injunction requiring Defendants to begin accessing transgender individuals into the military on January 1, 2018, pending a decision by the D.C. Circuit on Defendants\u2019 appeal,\u201d the government wrote in a motion filed late Wednesday.<\/p>\n The administration and the plaintiffs have asked for a decision by noon Monday.<\/p>\n In October, Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia blocked\u00a0President Trump<\/a><\/span>\u2019s\u00a0ban on transgender<\/a>\u00a0troops while a lawsuit against it\u00a0works its way through court.<\/p>\n Last month, after a motion by the Trump administration, Kollar-Kotelly issued a\u00a0follow-up ruling<\/a>\u00a0clarifying the earlier one that said the military must accept transgender recruits by Jan. 1, as it had planned to do prior to Trump\u2019s ban.<\/p>\n The post Trump Asks Federal Judge to Suspend Order That Military Accept Transgender Recruits on January 1<\/a> appeared first on Towleroad<\/a>.<\/p>\n
