A federal judge extended a temporary injunction on Friday blocking the Trump administration from withholding federal funds from institutions that provide gender-affirming care for transgender youth.

Colorado , Minnesota , Oregon and Washington , each led by Democratic attorney generals, filed the lawsuit against the Republican administration.

More than 80 House Democrats also penned a letter to Trump last month urging him to revoke one of the executive orders.
