FILE - Tate Dolney, a 12-year-old transgender boy from Fargo, N.D., is embraced by his parents, Devon and Robert Dolney, after a news conference, Sept. 14, 2023, at the state Capitol in Bismarck, N.D. A North Dakota judge on Wednesday, June 5, 2024, denied a request for a preliminary injunction to block the state’s law banning gender-affirming care for children. The Dolneys are plaintiffs in the lawsuit seeking to overturn the 2023 law as unconstitutional.
He also sided against claims that the grandfather clause is unconstitutionally vague, and that the plaintiffs have shown irreparable harm. With the current law in effect for more than a year now, Lofgren said “the public interest in maintaining the status quo weighs against granting a preliminary injunction.”Judge tosses out Illinois ban on drafting legislative candidates as ‘restriction on right to vote’in April 2023 after overwhelming approval by the GOP-controlled legislature.
Republican state Rep. Bill Tveit, who brought the bill, was pleased with the ruling. He said the law protects children from irreversible procedures. The judge disagreed, writing that such children “can receive any gender-affirming care they could have received in North Dakota prior to the Health Care Law’s enactment.”
