The Trump administration on Friday asked the U.S. Supreme Court to expedite its ruling on transgender service members. The administration's request correlates to the federal case Talbott v. USA, which challenges the U.S. military's attempted ban on transgender personnel that could negatively impact current and former members' abilities to serve. The administration is seeking to overturn a preliminary injunction currently protecting transgender plaintiffs from being discharged while the case is litigated. The trial is currently scheduled to begin in January 2027 in the federal district court for the District of Columbia.
