The Supreme Court said Tuesday that the Trump administration can begin immediately enforcing a ban on transgender service members in the military. The decision is a major victory for President Donald Trump in his effort to get the high court to unlock various parts of his second-term agenda that have been held up by lower courts reviewing scores of legal challenges to his policies.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday permitted Donald Trump's administration to implement his ban on transgender personnel in the military, one of a series of directives by the Republican president to curb transgender rights.

The new policy mimics a previous transgender military ban established during the first Trump Administration. The Supreme Court allowed that controversial Trump policy to remain in place in 2019, but it was reversed by President Biden shortly after he took office.
