CHICAGO – Attorney General Kwame Raoul joined 18 other state attorneys general in opposing the Trump administration’s subpoena of patient records from Boston Children’s Hospital related to gender-affirming care for minors. The brief asks a federal court to uphold a ruling that voided the subpoena, which Raoul and the coalition say was intended to intimidate medical providers and patients. The coalition warns that the DOJ’s approach could put pediatric practitioners at risk for providing evidence-based care and notes that gender-affirming treatment is recognized as medically necessary by major medical groups.
