The Florida government has issued a Freedom of Information Act request against the White House demanding documents regarding the Biden administration’s transgender treatment policies.
The Florida Agency for Healthcare Administration made the FOIA requests “to both the Department of Justice and Department of Health and Human Services for documents pertaining to Florida’s policies on transgender healthcare,” the Daily Caller reported this week, citing documents it had reviewed.
Among the documents requested by Florida include a March 2022 letter from the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division demanding that state attorneys general ensure their state’s medical treatment policies are in line with extremist trangender ideology.
The state is also seeking records related to a March 2022 order from HHS that “threaten[ed] legal action against entities that discriminate against transgender individuals.”
Florida is currently the defendant in a lawsuit regarding the state’s policy of forbidding Medicaid dollars to be used for irreversible and/or untested “gender-affirming” procedures for people who identify as the opposite sex.

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Why the vague reference to Florida government?
Regarding Biden Administration politically correct transgender policy, why isn't DeSantis(?) pointing out that the states have never exppressly constitutionally given the feds the specific power to police sex-related protections outside the scope of 19th Amendent-protected voting rights issues?
"19th Amendment:
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.
Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
The real question is, why does a state need to make a FOIA request for this information? Do we not live in a free society? Shouldn’t this information be easily and readily available to anyone, especially states?
This is the real story, that the Biden administration is trying to covertly insert this into states. He should be sued.
I am sure florida was told to talk to the hand. They may need to pull out the big guns and send in the Florida Man to save the day
Go De Santis! Go, Free State of Florida!
amen
No kidding! It’s like a little enclave of sanity.
the uneducated people on fr insist desantis is a globalist...
I honestly don’t care what they say! I live in FLorida, so I think I know a little more about it. He’s doing a great job protecting normal humans beings from the racists, the trannies, wokesters of any type. And believe me, their counter-attacks are pretty severe. They’re enraged.
