Summary
After a June 8, 2026 TRO, Judge Pitts issued a preliminary injunction barring DOJ from obtaining transgender patients' records from Stanford's Lucile Packard Children's Hospital via the Texas grand jury subpoena, describing DOJ's conduct as a "bad-faith campaign to intimidate hospitals into halting the lawful provision of gender-affirming care," and finding the information sought had "no discernible relevance to any federal healthcare offense" and that disclosure would violate patients' constitutional informational-privacy rights.
