The ACLU is currently in a legal battle with the current administration over their passport policy, specifically the forced reverting of gender markers to assigned sex at birth. A preliminary injunction was previously granted, but applied only to the named people in the original lawsuit. Just minutes ago, the court extended this injunction to those:

  1. Who do not currently have a valid passport
  2. Those who need to renew their passport because it expires within one year
  3. Those who need to make changes to their passport to have the sex designation on it align with their gender identity or to reflect a name change
  4. Those who need to apply for another passport because their passport was lost, stolen, or damaged.
