The Orr v. Trump lawsuit (filed by the American Civil Liberties Union) – Current Status – Emergency Unsigned Order

Brief Background…

he Orr v. Trump lawsuit (filed by the American Civil Liberties Union) challenges the Donald Trump administration’s policy to restrict passport sex/gender-markers to the sex assigned at birth (and to eliminate the “X” option).

A federal district judge, Julia Kobick, issued a preliminary injunction on June 17 2025 expanding relief for transgender/non-binary people to obtain passports with markers aligning with their gender identity (including “X”). Politico

The Supreme Court of the United States on Nov. 6 2025 allowed the Trump administration’s policy to go into effect while litigation continues — via an unsigned emergency order. KTVZ+2

The Supreme Court’s Nov. 6 2025 action is an unsigned order (emergency stay/recusal of injunction) rather than a fully-reasoned “opinion.” KTVZ+1

[edit 2] State IDs (e.g. driver license) are *probably* okay to update. Federal IDs (e.g. passport) may not be. See https://mstdn.games/@Melezioh/113879385765317014

[edit 1] Rule of Law, Due Process, and 60 Day Waiting Periods are only protections against people willing to follow them. GOP has shown that it is does only what serves its purposes. Do not expect Trump voters to obey the law.

Original post follows.

It was requested pol messages go behind a CW, hence not boosting.

TL;DR - Docs submitted for gender marker changes may be confiscated indefinitely pending legislation; updated documents may not be issued.

FYI this occurred in Minnesota.

Germany's transgender rights law to take effect

On November 1, a German law making it easier to alter gender markers and names on official documents will take effect. Transgender, intersex and nonbinary people welcome the recognition, but conservatives oppose it.
