The US Department of Justice filed a motion to block Alabama from enforcing a ban on gender-affirming care for trans youth. Over the last few months, states across America have either implemented or introduced laws targeting healthcare for transgender minors.

As a way to combat the horrific bills, the US Department of Justice sent a letter to all 50 state attorney generals on 31 March.

In the document, they warned the state officials of the ramifications of blocking the life-saving medical care. However, even with a warning from the department, some conservative lawmakers have continued their crusade against trans youth and the LGBTQ+ community as a whole.

At the start of April, Alabama’s governor Kay Ivey signed Senate Bill 184 (SB 184) into law. Under SB 184, also known as The Vulnerable Child Protection Act, medical professionals could face felony charges for offering gender-affirming care to trans youth under the age of 18 years old.
