A district judge on Thursday approved a petition from the Department of Justice (DOJ) to enforce a subpoena issued to Rhode Island Hospital that seeks documents related to the alleged distribution of transgender-related drugs to minors at the medical facility.
In a May 1 statement, the DOJ announced it was filing the petition against the hospital under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) “as part of its investigation into the distribution of certain prescription drugs to minors with gender dysphoria and related disorders, including puberty blocking drugs and cross-sex hormones.”
