It's already illegal. Congress banned it near-unanimously in 2022. That law allows the ban to be lifted only if Russia withdraws from Ukraine. He's simply breaking the law that's already on the books.

Calling something a “victory for people of faith” doesn’t make it one. The White House’s list lumps religious liberty together with abortion, DEI, LGBTQ+ policies, school choice and more. “People of faith” are not a political monolith, and neither are their interests.

I have received the following statement from Mount Sinai about DOJ's statement from earlier today. Mount Sinai's statement acknowledges the "settlement," but insists it is about their "commitment to safeguarding our patients’ confidential information and protecting our clinicians."
Statement from Mount Sinai Spokesperson:



Mount Sinai was subpoenaed by a grand jury in the Northern District of Texas to produce, among other documents, the medical records of some of our patients who received gender-affirming care. We entered into a settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services so that Mount Sinai will not be compelled to produce these highly sensitive patient records to the grand jury.

 

The settlement is complex, but at its core reflects Mount Sinai’s commitment to safeguarding our patients’ confidential information and protecting our clinicians. The matter is ongoing in Texas, likely to end up in the United States Supreme Court, and likely would have required that we disclose our patient records.

 

Some have misrepresented our position and implied that the settlement means that we believe we did something wrong by providing gender-affirming care. In fact, the settlement contains an express denial of any wrongdoing on Mount Sinai’s part. We entered into this settlement to protect our patients’ privacy and to allow our physicians to remain focused on our mission of serving our patients and communities with the highest-quality, world-class care.
