Judge Halts Idaho’s Restrictive Trans Bathroom Law on Vagueness Grounds
TL;DR
A federal judge issued a temporary injunction blocking Idaho’s ban on transgender people using restrooms that match their gender identity, saying the law is likely unconstitutional due to vagueness and delaying its enforcement. Six transgender residents had sued, arguing equal-protection and privacy rights, but the ruling focused on the vagueness claim, while the law—which could have carried prison terms—was poised to take effect July 1.
