New York hospitals

A judge temporarily blocked Texas federal prosecutors from accessing medical records of transgender patients treated at New York hospitals, citing the government's unconstitutional effort to 'demonize and eradicate' transgender people. The ruling followed oral arguments in Manhattan, where the judge criticized the pursuit of sensitive records from a 'uniquely vulnerable group' over six years.
