MidHudson News [dot] com is reporting the US Supreme Court issued a ruling Jan. 22, that allows President Donald Trump’s ban on transgender troopers to go into effect.

Andrew Cuomo criticized the decision, saying the ruling gave "an abhorrent policy" the green light. “President Trump’s disgraceful ban on most transgender troops serving in the military repays service and sacrifice with hate and it takes our military backwards to undercutting this nation’s commitment to ensuring equal rights for all,” Cuomo said.
