BALTIMORE (AP) The American Civil Liberties Union has filed a lawsuit challenging President Donald Trumps ban on transgender individuals joining the military.
The federal lawsuit was filed in Maryland on Monday by the ACLU of Maryland on behalf of several service members who are transgender.
Trump directed the Pentagon on Friday to implement the ban on transgender individuals joining the military, which he first announced in a tweet. He also gave to the Pentagon the authority to decide the future of openly transgender people already serving.
The lawsuit says Trumps policy violates the equal protection rights of transgender service members who now have grave reason to fear for their careers.

The ACLU will probably sue to have Trump’s control of nuclear codes removed. A judge will then decree it.
No one should give a sh*t what the ACLU thinks about this. If a judge issues an order, defy it.
As if. Sorry folks but Trump is not about to defy any Judges. They will file this in Hawaii.
Oops l see they already filed in Maryland the place that blocked the travel ban
Did anyone think to sue 0bama over his directive to allow trannies? Or did the Left say you can’t as it’s a CIC prerogative?
Were it not for Neil Gorsuch I would actually be concerned that the judiciary is about to seize CIC powers away from the executive branch.
The ACLU has done nothing but shred the very Constitution it says it upholds. I wonder if they were infiltrated,if not actually founded by Communists. I know now they are just a grievance group that cashes the checks of Soros,CAIR,BLM and other socialist,American hating organizations.
Case dismissed.
While I was in, I had a fellow sailor charged with damaging government property. For a sunburn.
I never thought the military would willingly damage service members for any reason.
Yes, you hit the nail on the head. If some leftist judge rules in favor of the delusional people who think they are something other than what they were born, the cowardly Republicans in Congress won’t lift a finger to stop it.
The ACLU should be sued for being a public menace.
