Today, the American Civil Liberties Union sued the Trump administration over the president's

executive order targeting gender-affirming care for minors.

The lawsuit says Trump's actions, quote, unconstitutionally usurp congressional authority

by withholding lawfully appropriated federal funds and violate the rights of trans youth by, quote, depriving them of

necessary medical care solely on the basis of their sex and transgender status.

Our White House correspondent Laura Barone Lopez has been covering this and joins us now.

So Laura just lay out the scope for us of the president's executive order and what's happened

since it was signed.

Last week, President Trump signed an executive order targeting gender affirming care for minors.

And that action states that the federal government will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist,

or support the so-called transition of a child from one sex to another.

And we should note that that order defines child as anyone under the age of

19, which includes legal adults in many states. The order also threatens to withhold federal funding

from hospitals or institutions that may also happen to provide gender affirming care. And that's led

some providers, even in states that protect this kind of care, to suspend it. Children's National in D.C.

said that it is pausing all puberty blockers and hormone treatment prescriptions for youth.

Reports of similar moves are also in Colorado and New York, which led New York Attorney

General Letitia James. She told providers that canceling care would violate state law. We should note,

Omna, that gender affirming care is endorsed by the majority of major U.S. medical associations,

including the American Academy of Pediatrics.

I know you've been talking to a family in Texas who says they're feeling an immediate impact.

What are they telling you?
