SAN JOSE, Calif. — A federal court in California enjoined the acting U.S. Attorney General from requesting, receiving, disclosing or otherwise obtaining information about a class of minors who sought or received gender-affirming care at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital. The Department of Justice may not seek their health information such as diagnoses and assessments, materials that describe the care provided to them or relate to parent or guardian authorization for their care. This information would violate the patients’ constitutional privacy rights.
