Oregon Judge Blocks Kennedy's Transgender-Care Decree as Overreach
TL;DR
A federal judge in Oregon ruled that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s December declaration that gender-transition care for minors does not meet professionally recognized standards overstepped federal authority and bypassed standard rulemaking, granting temporary relief to hospitals and providers while the lawsuit brought by 21 states proceeds; the decision is likely to be appealed.
