Block the DOJ's Seizure of Trans Youth Medical Records

The DOJ must be stopped from seizing private medical records of transgender minors from NYU Langone and Mount Sinai. Federal subpoenas with a June 10 deadline are demanding the identities and detailed health information of every trans person who received gender-affirming care as a minor, along with their parents' identities. This is a mass seizure of some of the most sensitive medical data imaginable, targeting children and families who did nothing wrong. No federal law prohibits gender-affirming care for minors. The Supreme Court has said this is a matter for states to regulate. The DOJ isn't enforcing the law here — it's weaponizing federal investigations to pressure hospitals into abandoning their patients. As the ACLU's Elizabeth Gill put it, these subpoenas are "a baseless intrusion into the doctor-patient relationship." Medical privacy is a human right, and a government that can seize your child's health records to punish a political identity is a government with no limits. I need you to publicly oppose these subpoenas and use every tool available to protect these families.
