SCOTUS asked to stay block on BOP’s 2026 gender-dysphoria prison policy
On 28 September 2026 the Solicitor General filed an emergency application (No. 26A416) asking the Supreme Court to stay D.D.C. orders that bar the Bureau of Prisons from enforcing its February 2026 policy ending surgeries, general new hormone interventions, and social accommodations for gender dysphoria while mental-health care continues. This is an application — not a Court decision. Update, 9 October: the ACLU-led respondents filed their opposition on 8 October, 24 states and the Arizona Legislature filed in support of the government, and the Solicitor General replied on 9 October. The application is fully briefed; no order yet.
