The Supreme Court weighed in on the Trump administration's transgender military ban after a lower court's decision blocking the ban was appealed to the high court.

The Supreme Court said Tuesday that the Trump administration can begin immediately enforcing a ban on transgender service members in the military.

Lower courts had blocked the policy, saying it was not supported by evidence and violated equal protection principles.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that the Trump administration can move forward with a ban on transgender military service members for now, lifting a lower court injunction against the policy after a judge ruled it was an "unsupported, dramatic and facially unfair exclusionary policy."

President Trump issued an executive order in January that targeted active-duty and prospective service members with gender dysphoria.
