On Monday, the US Supreme Court ruled that Idaho can enforce its ban on sex changes for minors pending appeal.
According to NBC News, the court granted an emergency request filed by Idaho officials, stating that the law enacted in 2023 could go into effect statewide, but could not be applied to the two plaintiffs that raised a challenge to it.
The court ruled 6-3, with the court’s three liberal justices saying the law should have remained blocked in its entirety.
In December, US District Court Judge Lynn Winmill ruled that the state could not enforce the law as litigation continued. Idaho appealed to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which has not made a ruling.
Winmill wrote in his ruling that the law prevented the use of "generally accepted medical treatment" for minors such as puberty blockers and irreversible surgeries.
State officials argued to the Supreme Court that the injunction was too broad, and that the law should only be blocked for the two plaintiffs.
