A federal judge has ordered government agencies to restore access to health-related webpages and datasets that were removed in response to an executive order by President Donald Trump. U.S. District Judge John Bates granted a temporary restraining order requested by the advocacy group Doctors for America, which sued several agencies, including the CDC and FDA.
Trump’s order required agencies to use “sex” instead of “gender” in federal policies, leading to the elimination of programs and websites promoting “gender ideology.” The removed content included HIV prevention reports, reproductive health guidance, and an FDA study on sex differences in medical research.
Doctors for America argued that the missing resources disrupted patient care, hampered research, and hindered medical communication. The judge agreed, stating the removals could cause serious harm to doctors and patients. Government lawyers countered that the claims did not meet the threshold for “irreparable harm.”
This lawsuit is one of many challenging Trump’s executive orders issued after his second inauguration.
