A federal appeals court is considering whether to reinstate Arkansas' first-in the-nation ban on gender affirming care for minors after hearing arguments. Ten judges with the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis heard arguments Thursday in the state's appeal of a judge's ruling that overturned the law. The 2021 law would prohibit doctors from providing gender-affirming hormone treatment, puberty blockers or surgery to anyone under 18. Arguments focused on whether the ban discriminates on the basis of sex. At least 24 states have adopted such restrictions, and most face lawsuits. Arkansas asked the full court rather than a three-judge panel to take up its appeal.

The Justice Department issued a withering critique of Minneapolis police, alleging that they systematically discriminated against racial minorities, often violated constitutional rights and disregarded the safety of people in custody for years before George Floyd was killed. The report came out Friday. It was the result of a sweeping two-year probe, and it confirmed many of the citizen complaints about police conduct that emerged after Floyd’s 2020 death. The investigation found that Minneapolis officers used excessive force, including “unjustified deadly force,” and violated the rights of people engaged in constitutionally protected speech. The probe also concluded that both police and the city discriminated against Black and Native American people.
