Federal agencies take aim at Trump's LGBTQ policies

• Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said the agency will reinstate anti-discrimination protections for LGBTQ people. Trump had rolled back those rules, which made it easier for hospitals to deny trans people health coverage.
• HUD withdrew a Trump-era proposed rule that would have allowed federally funded emergency shelters to exclude trans people and others based on gender identity.
• The Justice Department argued in an April statement of interest that prison officials violate the Constitution by refusing to house transgender prisoners in facilities that match their gender identity.

What they're saying: "LGBTQ Americans have faced discrimination for too long, and many federal policies had only just begun to offer much-needed protections during the Obama administration," GLAAD president and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis told Axios in a statement.

What to watch: The DOJ’s Civil Rights Division considers trans students protected under Title IX — another break with the Trump administration.

• A DOJ spokesperson said the agency “intends to fully enforce our civil rights statutes to protect transgender individuals.”
