A federal judge said March 19 he would be granting a motion by states to vacate a declaration from Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. against breast removal and other procedures for youths with gender dysphoria.

U.S. District Judge Mustafa Kasubhai said during a hearing in Oregon that he would soon issue a formal written opinion and order denying the government’s bid to dismiss the case brought by the states and granting the states’ motion for summary judgment, according to court records.
