Upon returning to office on January 20, Trump signed a slew of executive orders, several of which have been blocked by federal courts. The legal challenges brought by activists and state governments indicate institutional resistance to Trump's agenda, and the outcomes of the cases could define the president's tenure and his ability to make changes.

On January 28, Trump signed an executive order blocking hospitals and clinics that receive federal funding from providing gender-affirming care to people under the age of 19.

CNN - The Pentagon plans to kick out currently serving transgender service members who don't meet specific requirements under its new policy, according to official guidance made public in a Wednesday court filing. "Service members who have a current diagnosis or history of, or exhibit symptoms consistent with, gender dysphoria will be processed for separation from military service," according to a memo outlining the policy. The guidance follows an executive order signed by President Trump in January directing the Pentagon to implement its own policies that say transgender service members are incompatible with military service. In 2018, an independent research institute estimated 14,000 transgender troops were serving.
