Lower courts had blocked the policy, saying it was not supported by evidence and violated equal protection principles.

The Supreme Court weighed in on the Trump administration's transgender military ban after a lower court's decision blocking the ban was appealed to the high court.

The Supreme Court said Tuesday that the Trump administration can begin immediately enforcing a ban on transgender service members in the military.

The Pentagon will begin removing transgender troops from the military following a Supreme Court ruling last week that allows a ban to be enforced while lawsuits continue, impacting an estimated 15,000 service members.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that the Trump administration can move forward with a ban on transgender military service members for now, lifting a lower court injunction against the policy after a judge ruled it was an "unsupported, dramatic and facially unfair exclusionary policy."

President Trump issued an executive order in January that targeted active-duty and prospective service members with gender dysphoria.

The Supreme Court has pulled up the Centre over its blood donation guidelines that categorize all transgender persons as a high-risk group. The court emphasized that such blanket labeling is discriminatory and not backed by scientific evidence.

The US Supreme Court will let the Trump administration begin executing its ban on transgender military service members

The Supreme Court is allowing President Donald Trump’s administration to enforce a ban on transgender people in the military, while legal challenges proceed.

The ruling allows the armed forces to discharge the thousands of current transgender troops and reject new recruits while legal challenges play out.

The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research survey found about half of U.S. adults approve of the president's handling of trans issues.
