INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors is being allowed to take effect by a federal appeals court in Chicago. The order was issued Tuesday by a panel of justices on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. It removes a preliminary injunction against the ban that a federal judge in Indiana issued in June.

The ACLU said it’s considering next steps following the appeals court’s ruling.
