BREAKING: Federal judge blocks DOJ from requesting or receiving patient information about those who have received gender-affirming medical care as minors at Packard Children's Hospital (Stanford). The is the second order blocking these grand jury subpoenas: www.lawdork.com/p/doj-trans-...

In opposing plaintiffs’ motion, DOJ does not meaningfully defend the propriety of its
demand for patients’ sensitive health information. Instead, DOJ contends that because it now seeks
plaintiffs’ medical records through issuance of a grand jury subpoena rather than through an
administrative subpoena, plaintiffs’ sole recourse is to file a motion to quash the subpoena in the
issuing court pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 17. For the reasons that follow, the
Court concludes, for purposes of plaintiffs’ motion, that Rule 17 likely does not preclude plaintiffs
from pursuing an action in this Court to enjoin the federal officials’ ongoing efforts to procure
their private medical information. And because plaintiffs have demonstrated a likelihood of
success on their claim that DOJ’s efforts, if successful, would infringe upon their constitutional
privacy rights, the Court provisionally certifies a class of patients who received gender-affirming
care at Packard and grants plaintiffs’ request for preliminary injunctive relief as to that class.1
Because the record does not establish that patients who received gender-affirming care at other
Californian hospitals face a similar risk of injury, the Court denies plaintiffs’ motions to the extent
they seek provisional certification of a statewide class and statewide injunctive relief.

CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, plaintiffs’ motion to proceed via pseudonym (Dkt. No. 42) is
GRANTED. Plaintiffs’ motions for provisional class certification (Dkt. No. 45) and for a
preliminary injunction (Dkt. No. 46) are GRANTED in part and DENIED in part.
DOJ and Acting Attorney General Blanche, and all persons acting in concert with or on
behalf of such defendants, are hereby ENJOINED from requesting, receiving, producing,
transmitting, disclosing, or otherwise obtaining any records, documents, or information that
(1) identify members of the provisional class as having sought or received gender-affirming care
(or “Sex-Rejecting Procedures”); (2) disclose the clinical indications, diagnoses, assessments, or
other sensitive health information underlying the provision of such care to members of the
provisional class; (3) describe the gender-affirming care (or “Sex-Rejecting Procedures”) provided
to members of the provisional class or any consultations or patient intakes related to such care; or
(4) relate to the provision of informed consent and parent or guardian authorization for provisional
class members’ receipt of gender-affirming care (or “Sex-Rejecting Procedures”). Absent a further
order from this Court, the injunction shall remain in effect during the pendency of these
proceedings.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: July 2, 2026
P. Casey Pitts
United States District Judge

Pam Bondi and Kash Patel told Congress the Epstein inquiry was already completed. Now, on the eve of a vote to release the Epstein files, it’s suddenly “reopened.” You don’t need a conspiracy board to see what that means: Calling it active gives them cover to keep the documents sealed.

In July, an FBI memo about the Epstein case said: “We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.” But in a desperate deflection today, Trump ordered AG Bondi to investigate Bill Clinton. She got right on it. These people make dirt look clean.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
