About this case

Three families and two young adults filed a federal class action alleging that efforts by the U.S. Department of Justice and New York Attorney General to compel New York City hospitals to disclose the identities and sensitive medical records of transgender youth who received gender-affirming care violate constitutional privacy and search-and-seizure protections. The newly filed case in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York seeks class certification and a temporary restraining order blocking enforcement of the subpoena.
