Court\u00a0Stops\u00a0Enforcement of Trump Administration\u2019s\u00a0Grand Jury Subpoena\u00a0for\u00a0California Families\u2019\u00a0Private Medical Records<\/p>\n

Temporary restraining order issued\u00a0one day\u00a0before\u00a0the Trump administration had demanded these records be produced.\u00a0<\/p>\n

SAN FRANCISCO\u2014Last night,\u00a0the\u00a0US District Court for the Northern District of California\u00a0issued\u00a0an emergency\u00a0order\u00a0in\u00a0Z.A., et al. v. Lucile Salter Packard Children\u2019s Hospital at Stanford,\u00a0blocking\u00a0the Department of Justice from seizing the confidential medical records of\u00a0California\u00a0families\u00a0whose\u00a0children receive transgender health care.<\/p>\n

The temporary restraining order comes\u00a0one\u00a0day before\u00a0the Trump administration\u00a0had\u00a0demanded\u00a0that California hospitals\u00a0turn over\u00a0these children\u2019s private, confidential medical records.\u00a0The order blocks the transfer of records while the court\u00a0further\u00a0considers the constitutional questions raised.<\/p>\n

The lead attorneys in this case, the National Center for LGBTQ Rights\u2019 Shannon Minter and GLAD Law\u2019s Jennifer Levi issued the following statements in response to last night\u2019s emergency order:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Shannon Minter<\/a>, National Center for LGBTQ Rights Legal Director said:\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat the Trump administration is attempting with these grand jury subpoenas is unprecedented. The court recognized the urgency and stepped in before harm could be done to these families by preventing the government from seizing their kids\u2019 confidential information.\u201d\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jennifer Levi<\/a>, GLAD Law Senior Director of Transgender and Queer Rights\u00a0said:\u00a0\u00a0
\u201cThe federal government is engaging in extraordinary measures, using a secret grand jury process to try and pry into\u00a0patients\u2019 medical records. Today\u2019s order gives these families\u00a0the relief of knowing\u00a0that\u00a0private\u00a0information\u00a0about their children\u00a0will not be\u00a0immediately\u00a0turned over to\u00a0DOJ.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
