A federal judge on Monday ordered U.S. health agencies to restore websites that they abruptly took offline in response to an executive order by President Donald Trump telling them to scrub websites of "gender ideology extremism."
The temporary restraining order by U.S. District Judge John Bates in Washington, D.C., came in response to a lawsuit by the left-leaning medical advocacy group Doctors for America, which said that the sudden removal of websites by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Food and Drug Administration hampered doctors' and researchers' ability to fight disease.
