About this case

A certified class of transgender people in federal custody challenges the administration’s policy of housing inmates based on sex assigned at birth, including the transfer of transgender women from women’s facilities to segregated units. The matter is ongoing; the court is considering enforcement of an injunction and possible sanctions after attorneys for the inmates alleged that the transfers violated a prior court order.
