Harrison Ford just delivered one of his sharpest political attacks yet, saying Donald Trump’s climate record β€œscares the sh*t out of me.”

The Supreme Court has rejected an emergency request from the Trump administration to reinstate restrictions on gender-affirming medical treatments for incarcerated transgender individuals across the federal prison system.

In an unsigned order, the justices denied the Justice Department’s application for an emergency stay, keeping in place a preliminary injunction issued by a federal district court while substantive appeals proceed. Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito noted that they would have granted the government’s request.

The legal battle stems from a policy instituted by the Federal Bureau of Prisons following a January 2025 executive directive, which halted new prescriptions for hormone therapy, required tapering plans for inmates currently receiving treatment, and restricted other gender-affirming accommodations. Under the contested framework, medical care for diagnosed individuals was limited primarily to general mental health services and antidepressants.

The policy was challenged in the class action lawsuit Kingdom v. Trump, brought by the American Civil Liberties Union and the Transgender Law Center on behalf of incarcerated transgender people diagnosed with gender dysphoria. Plaintiffs argued that withholding medically recognized treatments violates constitutional protections against cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment, as well as federal administrative procedure laws.

In its filings, the Justice Department maintained that the executive branch holds broad statutory discretion to determine healthcare spending, manage internal safety protocols, and allocate medical resources across federal facilities.

By declining to intervene at this preliminary stage, the high court’s decision ensures that Bureau of Prisons facilities must continue providing hormone therapies and related medical care to eligible inmates as the underlying merits are litigated in the U.S. Court of Appeals.
