Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and two other state attorneys general sued President Donald Trump in federal court Friday over his recent executive order aiming to restrict gender-affirming care for transgender youth younger than 19.

"I am terrified that blocking gender-affirming care for minors will cause a mental health crisis and an increase in suicides," a medical professional said.

It was the first of three progressive priorities of the session: a ban on conversion therapy for minors and vulnerable adults and two bills that would make Minnesota a refuge for people traveling here for abortion and gender affirming care.

Three states and three physicians sued the Trump administration Friday over an executive order meant to slash federal support for gender-affirming care for minors, calling the order “blatantly unconstitutional.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, along with attorneys general from Washington and Oregon and three unnamed doctors, filed a federal lawsuit Friday calling for a halt on a presidential executive order that would end federal funding to medical institutions that provide gender-affirming care.
