1. The Trump administration has just quietly updated the State Department website to indicate that it may invalidate transgender people's passports.

Good article. We have reported about "Gender Exploratory Therapy" at EITM for years now - it's a subversive practice akin to "crisis pregnancy centers" that seeks to delay transition until the person gives up on being trans - they will NEVER let the trans teen transition.
Conversion therapy is quietly rebranding — and targeting trans youths
As political attacks on gender-affirming care escalate, parents and experts fear a resurgence of discredited “therapies” that seek to change transgender children’s identities.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.
It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

Before the Court is Defendants' Motion to Terminate the Flores Settlement
Agreement and to Dissolve the Court's 2019 Injunction. [Doc. ## 1567 ("MTT").] The motion is fully briefed. [Doc. ## 1584 ("Opp."), 1612 ("Reply").] The Court held a hearing on the motion on August 8, 2025. Defendants fail to identify any new facts or 5 law that warrant the termination of the Flores Settlement Agreement at this time.
Therefore, for the reasons set forth below, the Court DENIES Defendants' MTT.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreihoebrtvddzsc34562go2fl5p7vv5eqjesb7afi6wyweq5iaowv4a@jpeg)

Throughout the entire history of this case, the Parties have understood that "it is necessary ... for the New Regulations to follow [Administrative Procedure Act] rulemaking procedures." Flores v. Barr, 407 F. Supp. 3d at 924. This understanding is evidenced by the fact that every time Defendants have attempted to promulgate a rule incorporating the FSA-in 1998, 2019, and 2024 they have always gone through the traditional APA rulemaking process. See also FSA 4 9 ("[T]he INS shall initiate action to publish the relevant and substantive terms of this Agreement as a Service regulation") (emphasis added). Termination of the FSA cannot occur until Defendants have published final, federal regulations implementing the FSA. FSA 99; FSA (as amended) 4 40.
Accordingly, the Court concludes that neither DHS nor HHS is yet in sufficiently
substantial compliance to warrant termination of the FSA under Rule 60(b)(5).®](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreiah77gqf6ihkxrlfi5ho7i4gfjkpiy3lfml55y67do5vvvb5hxibq@jpeg)
