Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Tuesday that Arkansas will “fight” a federal judge’s ruling that struck down the state’s ban on gender transition procedures for minors.

U.S. District Judge Jay Moody, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, issued a permanent injunction against the Arkansas law on Tuesday, declaring the state’s ban on gender transition procedures unconstitutional.
