‘Cannot interject themselves’: Trump DOJ says states suing over president’s mass firings have no ‘legitimate claims’ and are doomed to fail in federal court

Members of the U.S. military pressed a federal court in New Jersey to maintain pressure on the Trump administration by barring the Pentagon’s transgender ban — despite a federal court in the nation’s capital already banning the controversial policy earlier this week.

On March 17, Logan Ireland and Nicholas Bear Bade, both of whom are on active duty, sued the U.S. Air Force and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over the formal policy outlined in various directives which target both existing and would-be transgender service members who have “a current diagnosis or history of gender dysphoria.”

On March 19, U.S. District Judge Ana C. Reyes, a Joe Biden appointee sitting in Washington, D.C., blocked the government from enforcing President Donald Trump’s executive orders purporting to ban transgender people from serving in the military.

Now, in an 18-page reply brief, the Garden State plaintiffs insist they still need the judge overseeing their case to issue the same relief.
