A federal judge ruled that the Trump administration cannot access health records of transgender youth from hospitals across the city.<\/p>\n
Federal prosecutors wanted those records on minors, including medical assessments, their diagnoses and the transgender status of patients.<\/p>\n
The Trump administration even went so far as to get a grand jury subpoena to force NYU Langone hospitals to supply the documents.<\/p>\n
The judge issued a temporary restraining order against that subpoena today, saying the government\u2019s interest does not outweigh patients\u2019 right to privacy.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, today the City Council\u2019s Committee on General Welfare and Committee on Women and Gender Equity met to discuss housing instability among New Yorkers.<\/p>\n
Brooklyn Council Member Crystal Hudson, the chair of the General Welfare Committee, joined \u201cThe Rush Hour\u201d on Wednesday to talk more about the hearing.<\/p>\n
