رَفَضَتِ الْمَحْكَمَةُ الْعُلْيَا الْأَمْرِيكِيَّةُ، يَوْمَ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ ٢١ أُكْتُوبَرَ ٢٠٢٦، طَلَبَ إِدَارَةِ الرَّئِيسِ دُونَالْد تُرَامْبَ تَطْبِيقَ قَيْدٍ طِبِّيٍّ جَدِيدٍ فَوْرًا فِي السُّجُونِ الْفِيدِرَالِيَّةِ. وَيَتَعَلَّقُ الْقَيْدُ بِالرِّعَايَةِ الصِّحِّيَّةِ لِلْأَشْخَاصِ الْمُتَحَوِّلِينَ جِنْسِيًّا. وَبِهٰذَا الْقَرَارِ، بَقِيَ حُكْمٌ مِنْ مَحْكَمَةٍ أَدْنَى يَمْنَعُ تَنْفِيذَ السِّيَاسَةِ.
وَقَالَتْ إِدَارَةُ السُّجُونِ إِنَّهَا سَتُوقِفُ بَعْضَ الْعِلَاجَاتِ وَالْجِرَاحَاتِ، وَسَتُقَلِّلُ اسْتِخْدَامَ الْهُرْمُونَاتِ تَدْرِيجِيًّا. وَكَانَتِ السِّيَاسَةُ تَشْمَلُ أَيْضًا مَنْعَ بَعْضِ الْأَشْيَاءِ، مِثْلَ الْمَكْيَاجِ وَالشَّعْرِ الْمُسْتَعَارِ. وَمَعَ ذٰلِكَ، كَانَ مِنَ الْمُقَرَّرِ أَنْ تَسْتَمِرَّ خِدْمَاتُ الصِّحَّةِ النَّفْسِيَّةِ.
وَطَعَنَ ثَلَاثَةُ سُجَنَاءَ فِي السِّيَاسَةِ، وَرَفَعُوا دَعْوَى جَمَاعِيَّةً لِوَقْفِهَا. وَأَيَّدَ قَاضٍ فِيدِرَالِيٌّ طَلَبَهُمْ، ثُمَّ رَفَضَتْ مَحْكَمَةُ اسْتِئْنَافٍ تَغْيِيرَ حُكْمِهِ. وَلَمْ تَشْرَحِ الْمَحْكَمَةُ الْعُلْيَا أَسْبَابَ قَرَارِهَا الْمُخْتَصَرِ. وَخَالَفَ قَاضِيَانِ الْقَرَارَ، وَطَلَبَا السَّمَاحَ بِتَنْفِيذِ السِّيَاسَةِ.
وَالْقَرَارُ الْحَالِيُّ مُؤَقَّتٌ، وَلَا يَحْسِمُ النِّزَاعَ الْقَانُونِيَّ. فَسَتُوَاصِلُ الْمَحَاكِمُ النَّظَرَ فِي الدَّعْوَى. وَتُظْهِرُ الْقَضِيَّةُ اخْتِلَافَ الْحُكُومَةِ وَالسُّجَنَاءِ حَوْلَ نَوْعِ الرِّعَايَةِ الَّتِي يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تُقَدَّمَ لَهُمْ، بَيْنَمَا يَنْتَظِرُ الطَّرَفَانِ قَرَارًا قَضَائِيًّا أَكْثَرَ شُمُولًا.

US Supreme Court Keeps Restrictions on Prison Healthcare on Hold
On Wednesday, October 21, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the Trump administration’s request to immediately apply a new medical restriction in federal prisons. The restriction concerns healthcare for transgender people. As a result, a lower-court ruling blocking the policy remains in place.
The prison agency said it would stop some treatments and surgeries and gradually reduce the use of hormones. The policy also included banning certain items, such as makeup and wigs. However, mental health services were still set to continue.
Three prisoners challenged the policy and filed a class-action lawsuit to stop it. A federal judge supported their request, and then an appeals court refused to change his ruling. The Supreme Court did not explain the reasons for its brief decision. Two justices disagreed and wanted to allow the policy to be enforced.
The current decision is temporary and does not settle the legal dispute. The courts will continue to consider the lawsuit. The case shows the disagreement between the government and prisoners about what kind of care should be provided to them, while both sides await a more complete court decision.
