Emails and other records from U.S. Assistant Secretary for Health Rachel Levine on transgender medical care for children will have to be produced by the Justice Department after a federal judge ruled they are relevant to a case challenging Alabama’s ban on such care.
Levine’s records were argued as part of Boe v. Marshall, the federal lawsuit brought by five parents who claim a 2022 state law strips them of the right to make important decisions about their children’s healthcare.
On Wednesday, Marshall hailed the decision:
“I am glad the court granted our motion to require HHS to search Admiral Levine’s emails for documents relevant to our defense of Alabama’s law,” Marshall said in a statement. “Levine has been at the forefront of the Biden Administration’s reckless promotion of sex-modification procedures for children. There is no doubt about that, nor about the Admiral’s close involvement with radical organizations like WPATH whose ‘Standards of Care’ mandate the use of sterilizing hormones and surgeries to ‘treat’ vulnerable children suffering from gender dysphoria. We look forward to reviewing the documents HHS produces as we continue to defend Alabama’s children.”
