It's the latest in a series of emergency appeals from the Trump administration, many of which have resulted in victories amid litigation, including on banning transgender people from the military. The plaintiffs, meanwhile, say the policy violates the rights of transgender and nonbinary Americans. A judge blocked the Trump administration policy in June after a lawsuit from nonbinary and transgender people, some of whom said they were afraid to submit applications. The Trump administration on Friday asked the Supreme Court to put the order on hold while the lawsuit plays out.
