The Trump administration dropped the federal government’s appeal of a preliminary injunction that blocked the government from extending gender identity discrimination protections to the education sector.

The appeal had been initiated by the Biden administration, which left office on Jan. 20, but the new administration decided not to pursue it. Often when a new president is inaugurated the new administration changes position in litigation that is already before the courts.
