Case Summary

This case challenged President Trump's Executive Order 14168, which targeted transgender individuals and prohibited gender-affirming care in federal prisons. EO 14168 redefined the term "sex" to mean the sex assigned to an individual at birth, rather than an individual's gender identity. Pursuant to this order, prison officials denied transgender prisoners clothing and underwear that matched their gender identity, assigned guards of the opposite gender to search trans prisoners, refused gender-…

This case challenged President Trump's Executive Order 14168, which targeted transgender individuals and prohibited gender-affirming care in federal prisons. EO 14168 redefined the term "sex" to mean the sex assigned to an individual at birth, rather than an individual's gender identity. Pursuant to this order, prison officials denied transgender prisoners clothing and underwear that matched their gender identity, assigned guards of the opposite gender to search trans prisoners, refused gender-affirming care, and harassed trans inmates regarding their identity. ("You are not a woman! You are a man in a men's prison.") Plaintiff alleged this conduct by prison officials violated the Eighth Amendment, the Equal Protection Clause, and the First Amendment.

Plaintiff, a transgender woman in the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida on June 20, 2025. The lawsuit named President Donald Trump, the Attorney General, the BOP Director, and various BOP Wardens as defendants. Plaintiff filed this lawsuit pro se. Plaintiff sought a declaration that Trump's executive order was unconstitutional; a preliminary and permanent injunction against the order's enforcement both generally and specifically as applied to plaintiff; and attorneys' fees. The same day, plaintiff moved for a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction. The case was originally filed in the Orlando Division of Florida's Middle District; it was transferred to the Ocala Division and assigned to Judge Mary Stenson Scriven. Following the transfer, plaintiff filed an amended complaint on July 21, 2025.

On October 3, 2025, the court granted the plaintiff's motion for preliminary injunctive relief. Citing plaintiff's allegations that she had repeatedly been subjected to sexual abuse by male prison guards during searches, the court ordered that pat down and strip searches of the plaintiff were to be conducted by female guards only until after a hearing and final determination by the court. That same day, the court issued an order staying the case pending the conclusion of the government shutdown and indicating that the temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction would remain in place during the stay.  Once the shutdown ended, briefing proceeded; a further hearing is set for Feb. 2, 2026. 

This case is ongoing.
