The Supreme Court on Thursday allowed Donald Trump's administration to bar applicants for U.S. passports from designating the sex reflecting their gender identities on the document, part of the Republican president's crackdown on the rights of transgender Americans.

The Trump administration does not want to issue passports to transgender and nonbinary Americans that reflect their gender identities.

The court's decision is not a final ruling, however; it just permits Trump's passport policy to go into effect while litigation continues in the lower courts.

The Supreme Court is allowing President Donald Trump’s administration to enforce a policy blocking transgender and nonbinary people from choosing passport sex markers that align with their gender iden

The Supreme Court on Thursday allowed the Trump administration to require the sex designation on US passports to align with a traveler’s biological sex, a blow to transgender and nonbinary Americans who have argued the policy is unconstitutional.

The Supreme Court’s Republican-appointed majority has agreed to let the Trump administration implement its new passport policy, which has been opposed by a group of transgender and nonbinary Americans.

The High Court paused a lower court’s ruling that blocked the passport policy from being implemented while it is adjudicated in the courts.

Former federal prosecutor Jeffrey Toobin threw Anderson Cooper for a loop on Wednesday by telling the host that if the Supreme Court strikes down President Donald Trump's tariff regime, the administration will have to give back the money it has taken in.
