最高法院驳回特朗普政府暂缓申请 联邦监狱跨性别囚犯护理政策继续被禁令挡住
华盛顿——美国最高法院10月21日在 Trump v. Kingdom 案（案号 26A416）中驳回特朗普政府的紧急暂缓申请，联邦监狱局（BOP）终止跨性别囚犯激素治疗、性别肯定手术及相关生活安排的2026年新政策，将继续被下级法院的禁令挡住、诉讼期间不得实施。最高法院的命令未说明理由；官方案卷显示，大法官 Clarence Thomas 与 Samuel Alito 表示会批准政府的暂缓申请。
联邦监狱局今年依据特朗普总统的行政命令推出该政策：对性别焦虑症囚犯只提供心理健康治疗，停止激素干预与性别肯定手术，并取消化妆、假发等「社会性适应」安排。三名跨性别囚犯以 Alishea Sophia Kingdom 为首提起集体诉讼要求阻止该政策。据美联社报道，美国公民自由联盟（ACLU）的律师表示，该集体涵盖约1,000名被诊断有性别焦虑的囚犯，其中约800人正接受处方激素治疗；联邦监狱系统内共有2,000多名跨性别者。
华盛顿联邦地区法院法官 Royce Lamberth 于2026年8月26日裁定禁止实施该政策，认定其违反《行政程序法》；哥伦比亚特区巡回上诉法院9月18日拒绝暂缓该禁令；联邦总检察长 D. John Sauer 于9月28日向最高法院提出紧急暂缓申请。
最高法院此次驳回的仅是诉讼期间政策能否先行实施的问题，该政策本身是否合法仍由下级法院继续审理。
Supreme Court Denies Stay Bid, Leaving Injunction Against Federal Prison Transgender-Care Policy in Place
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court on October 21 denied the Trump administration's emergency application for a stay in Trump v. Kingdom, No. 26A416, leaving in place a lower-court injunction that blocks the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) from carrying out its 2026 policy ending hormone therapy, gender-affirming surgeries, and social accommodations for transgender inmates. The Court's order gave no reasoning. According to the docket, Justice Clarence Thomas and Justice Samuel Alito would have granted the government's application.
The BOP policy, adopted this year following President Trump's executive order, provides gender dysphoria care through mental-health treatment only: it bars hormone interventions and surgeries and withdraws social accommodations such as makeup and wigs. Three transgender inmates, led by Alishea Sophia Kingdom, sued in a class action to block it. According to the Associated Press, an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union said the class covers about 1,000 inmates diagnosed with gender dysphoria, roughly 800 of them prescribed hormone therapy, out of more than 2,000 transgender people in federal custody.
U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth in Washington blocked the policy on August 26, 2026, holding it unlawful under the Administrative Procedure Act, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit refused to stay that injunction on September 18. Solicitor General D. John Sauer filed the emergency application with the Supreme Court on September 28.
Wednesday's denial decides only whether the policy may take effect while the case proceeds; the underlying challenge to the policy's legality remains pending in the lower courts.
