<p>法官稱司法部的傳票為 “釣魚行動”</p>
<p>兒童國家醫院因法律風險停止性別確認護理</p>
<p>特朗普的行政命令結束了對跨性別青少年治療的聯邦資金支持</p>

<p>1 月 22 日（路透社）- 一名聯邦法官駁回了美國司法部獲取涉及在兒童國家醫院接受性別確認護理的多名患者記錄的請求，稱該請求是為了推進特朗普總統結束此類跨性別青少年治療的目標而發出的 “藉口”。巴爾的摩的美國地區法官朱莉·魯賓週三的裁決進一步增加了司法部在其努力傳喚向未成年人提供此類治療的醫療服務提供者時的法院敗訴記錄。</p>
<p>在最近幾個月中，至少還有六名法官支持了對司法部所稱的向全國範圍內提供性別確認護理的醫生和診所發出的 20 多份傳票中的一些的挑戰。</p>
<p>與其他挑戰類似傳票的醫院不同，位於華盛頓特區的兒童國家醫院並沒有提起訴訟以撤銷傳票。在收到傳票後，該醫院於 7 月宣佈由於 “法律和監管風險的升級” 停止開具性別確認藥物。</p>
<p>相反，該傳票是在 11 月由八個家庭提起的訴訟中受到挑戰，這些家庭的孩子自 2020 年 1 月以來在該兒科醫療提供者處接受了性別確認護理。魯賓法官表示，該傳票構成了 “超越任何合法目的的過度行為”，而且似乎是為了騷擾醫院及其患者，以實現特朗普的政治議程。</p>
<p>“政府試圖通過出於恐懼的合規來實現其政策議程，” 她寫道。“此外，在法庭看來，該傳票是典型的不可接受的釣魚行動。”</p>
<p>她將裁決的範圍限制在提起訴訟的家庭，表示雖然該傳票完全不當，但她並不相信原告有法律資格代表未參與訴訟的人挑戰它。原告律師 Jennifer Levi 在 GLAD 法律組織的聲明中表示，該裁決 “得到了尋求此裁決的家庭的熱烈歡迎。”</p>
<p>“相關家庭希望得到的與所有家庭希望的相同——讓他們的孩子獲得所需的醫療護理，並能夠與同齡人一起茁壯成長，” Levi 説。司法部拒絕對此發表評論。醫院未對評論請求作出回應。</p>
<p>在特朗普於 2025 年 1 月上任後不久簽署的行政命令中，向醫療服務提供者發出了傳票，結束了對跨性別青少年性別確認護理的所有聯邦資金或支持。</p>
<p>該命令將此類護理描述為 “我們國家歷史上的污點”、“一種危險趨勢” 和一種 “化學和外科 mutilation”，並指示司法部優先調查此類治療，隨後美國司法部長 Pam Bondi 指示該部門這樣做。</p>
<p>兒童國家醫院收到的行政傳票是在 7 月 3 日發出的。它尋求患者記錄，作為司法部所稱的對通過非法推廣或非法向未成年人分發青春期阻滯劑和激素的聯邦食品、藥品和化妝品法潛在違規行為的調查的一部分。但魯賓表示，司法部並未提供任何依據來懷疑醫院違反 FDCA，並且該傳票實際上是 “為了實現行政部門廣為人知的政策目標而發出的藉口，以終止和阻止性別確認醫療護理。”</p>

</div><p>Jan 22 (Reuters) - A federal judge has rejected the U.S. Department of Justice’s bid to obtain records involving several patients who received gender-affirming care at Children’s National Hospital, saying the request was issued as a “pretext” to advance President Donald Trump’s goal of ending such treatments for transgender youth. Wednesday’s ruling by U.S. District Judge Julie Rubin in Baltimore added to a growing string of court losses for the Justice Department in its efforts to subpoena healthcare providers that provided such treatments to minors.</p>

</div><p>Unlike other hospitals that challenged similar subpoenas, Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D.C., did not sue to quash it. After being served a subpoena, it announced in July it was discontinuing the prescription of gender-affirming medications due to “escalating legal and regulatory risks.”</p>

</div><p>Instead, the subpoena was challenged in a lawsuit filed in November by eight families, whose children had received gender-affirming care since January 2020 at the pediatric healthcare provider. Rubin, who was appointed by Democratic President Joe Biden, said the subpoena constituted an “overreach untethered to any lawful purpose” and instead appeared designed to harass the hospital and its patients to fulfill Trump’s political agenda.</p>

<div class="lb-trans"><p>“政府試圖通過出於恐懼的合規來實現其政策議程，” 她寫道。“此外，在法庭看來，該傳票是典型的不可接受的釣魚行動。”</p>
</div><p>She limited the scope of her ruling to the families who sued, saying that while the subpoena was wholly improper, she was not convinced the plaintiffs had the legal standing to challenge it on behalf of people who were not party to the lawsuit. Jennifer Levi, a lawyer for the plaintiffs at GLAD Law, in a statement said the ruling was “enormously welcomed by the families who sought it.”</p>

</div><p>“The families involved want what all families want – for their kids to get the medical care that they need and for them to be able to thrive alongside their peers,” Levi said. The Justice Department declined to comment. The hospital did not respond to a request for comment.</p>

</div><p>The order described such care as a “stain on our Nation’s history, a “dangerous trend” and a form of “chemical and surgical mutilation,” and it directed the Justice Department to prioritize investigations concerning such treatments, which U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi then directed the department to do.</p>

</div><p>The administrative subpoena the Children’s National Hospital received was issued on July 3. It sought patient records as part of what the Justice Department said was an investigation into potential violations of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act through the off-label promotion or unlawful dispensing of puberty blockers and hormones to minors. But Rubin said the Justice Department had not provided any basis on which it suspected the hospital violated the FDCA and that the subpoena was instead “a pretext to fulfill the Executive’s well-publicized policy objective to terminate and block gender affirming healthcare.”</p>
