CNN\u00a0\u2014<\/strong>\u00a0The Supreme Court said Tuesday that the Trump administration can begin immediately enforcing a ban on transgender service members in the military.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is often the case in emergency rulings, the court did not explain its reasoning. The three liberal justices publicly dissented from the decision, but also did not explain their position.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

During the president\u2019s first term, the high court permitted Trump to enforce a similar \u2013 yet slightly more permissive \u2013 ban on trans service members. That prohibition was later reversed by President Joe Biden.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Under the new ban, \u201cservice members who have a current diagnosis or history of, or exhibit symptoms consistent with, gender dysphoria will be processed for separation from military service,\u201d according to a memo outlining the policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pentagon will also not allow transgender Americans to join any branch of the military.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s unclear exactly how many transgender individuals serve in the military; in 2018, an independent research institute estimated there were 14,000 transgender troops serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A senior defense official previously told CNN there are 4,240 service members across active-duty, reserve and the National Guard with a diagnosis of gender dysphoria, defined as the psychological distress an individual feels when their gender identity differs from their gender at birth. But not every transgender individual has gender dysphoria.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Days after taking office in January, Trump signed an executive order directing the Pentagon to implement its own policies that say transgender service members are incompatible with military service. The government had argued that continuing to permit trans individuals to serve in the US would negatively affect, among other things, the military\u2019s lethality, readiness and cohesion.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

But federal judges reviewing legal challenges to the policy concluded that it violated the constitutional rights of transgender Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the case appealed to the justices on an emergency basis, US District Judge Benjamin Settle, sitting at a courthouse in Washington state, said the administration \u201cfails to contend with the reality that transgender service members have served openly for at least four years under (policies from previous administrations) without any discernable harm to military readiness, cohesion, order, or discipline.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt provides no evidence to counter plaintiffs\u2019 showing that open transgender service has in fact enhanced each of these interests,\u201d the judge wrote, referring to the policy Biden had in place during his tenure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the administration argued that Settle had overstepped by wading into military policy. It asked the justices to put his ruling on hold for now after a federal appeals court in San Francisco refused to do just that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe district court\u2019s injunction cannot be squared with the substantial deference that the Department\u2019s professional military judgments are owed,\u201d Solicitor General D. John Sauer wrote in court papers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without Supreme Court action, he added, the military will \u201cbe forced to maintain a policy that it has determined, in its professional judgment, to be contrary to military readiness and the Nation\u2019s interests.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But attorneys for the challengers in the case, US v. Shilling, urged the high court to stay out of the matter for now. They warned that a decision in favor of the administration would result in the immediate discharge of thousands of service members, \u201cthereby ending distinguished careers and gouging holes in military units.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe loss of well-qualified servicemembers like (the ban\u2019s challengers) will necessarily negatively impact military readiness, lethality, and unit cohesion \u2013 essential components of a strong and effective national defense,\u201d they told the high court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In another major challenge to the policy, the US DC Circuit Court of Appeals is considering whether to let a preliminary injunction<\/a> issued by US District Judge Ana Reyes take effect for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appeals court had put that ruling on a short-term hold while it considers the case.<\/p>\n
