State AGs sue Trump administration over transgender care ban
Washington state Attorney General Nick Brown announced a lawsuit in federal court to stop President Donald Trump's executive order attempts to criminalize and end gender-affirming care.
"That order poses an immediate threat to young people all across Washington State and to the medical professionals in Washington who provide much-needed health care," Brown said.
The multistate lawsuit includes Oregon and Minnesota, as well as three individual plaintiffs who include doctors.

Brown also said they are requesting a temporary restraining order for the EO.
"If young people, lose access to the care that they need, that they have no doubt that transgender youth will die," he said.

DOJ, attorneys for FBI agents strike deal over Jan. 6 list
The Justice Department and attorneys representing a group of FBI employees suing over the list compiled of personnel who worked on Jan. 6 cases have reached a temporary deal ensuring the list won't be released publicly pending further legal proceedings.
The agreement by the Justice Department states "the government will not disseminate the list... to the public, directly or indirectly, before the Court rules on Plaintiff's anticipated motions for a preliminary injunction."

If DOJ leadership were to change their minds and release the list, they would need to provide two business days' notice to attorneys and the court.
"This is an important step in the right direction to protect those who protect us—FBI Agents who have dedicated their careers to upholding the rule of law and defending our country," Natalie Bara, the president of the FBI Agents Association said in a statement.
