A federal judge has blocked the transfer of a man who identifies as a woman to a men’s prison, the inmate’s lawyers said on Jan. 30, as the judge considers a lawsuit brought against an executive order issued by President Donald Trump.

U.S. District Judge George O'Toole in Boston issued a temporary restraining order on Sunday, according to the lawyers for the inmate, who is identified under the pseudonym Maria Moe in court filings.
