An American court ordered Children's Minnesota to restart gender-related care for minors. The hospital stopped these treatments in February under Trump government pressure.

Children's Minnesota stopped all gender-related medical help for patients under eighteen years. This happened after the Trump administration pressured hospitals. The organization said the pause was necessary to examine protocols.

A judge now determined the hospital must quickly offer this care again. This includes treatments like hormone therapy and psychological support. The judge ruled stopping this care is probably illegal and harms patients.

The case raises questions about government's role in hospital medical decisions. Doctor organizations say gender-related youth care is safe with proper guidance. Opponents point to risks and say youth are too young for such treatments.

The hospital can still appeal the judge's decision.
