U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes said that she would not be “gaslit” by the lawyers’ attempts to convince her that the policy did not constitute a transgender ban, according to Politico’s senior legal affairs reporter Kyle Cheney.
Earlier this week, Reyes had ruled that the Pentagon could not enforce the policy, and had mischaracterized research and ignored evidence to support its conclusion to disallow transgender servicemembers. Last week, Reyes stopped a hearing cold in its tracks so that the lawyers could actually read the studies mentioned, after she found that “virtually every” study cited in the ban contradicted support for Hegseth’s policy.
She delayed the order from going into effect until March 21, to give the Trump administration time enough to pursue an emergency appeal.
Reyes hit back at the lawyers during Friday’s hearing, pushing them to explain how Hegseth’s policy was addressing an actual problem in the U.S. military and not simply creating a “pretext” for discriminating against transgender people, according to Cheney.
“Everything in the record is that it’s a pretext. There is nothing in the record that this was a deliberative process,” Reyes said.
