A California federal judge judged on Monday that the Trump administration could not apply decrees Who obliges groups to stop programs that promote diversity, equity and inclusion or recognize the existence of transgender people to receive funding for grants.
American district judge Jon Tigar wrote in his order That a group of pro-LGBTQ non-profit organizations “has shown that they probably have statutes to challenge” several provisions in the executive decrees of President Donald Trump, who claim that the groups have violated the Constitution.
“These three funding provisions reflect an effort to censor speech and services protected by the Constitution, the promotion of Dei and the recognition of the existence of transgender individuals,” wrote the judge in his order.
Tigar said that if the executive power “requires a certain degree of freedom to implement its political program, it is always linked by the Constitution” and “cannot armed funds appropriate by the Congress to distinguish protected communities for unfavorable treatment or suppress the ideas it does not like or has not deemed dangerous”.

Government lawyers say the The president is authorized “Align government funding and application strategies” with its policies.
The applicants say that the Congress – and not the President – has the power to condition how federal funds are used and that restricted decrees are limited rights to freedom of expression.

The complainants include health centers, LGBTQ +service groups, Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender Historical Society and San Francisco Aids Foundation. The groups are all beneficiaries of federal funding and say that following the decrees will prevent them from completing their missions.
The judge’s order will remain in force while the legal case continues, although government lawyers will likely appeal.
