A trans service member described the move as “the latest slap in the face” to serve the troops with respect.

Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court announced a ban on transgender forces in the military for the Trump administration, allowing the Department of Defense to evacuate thousands of incumbent trans units and reject recruits as legal challenges opposing the move continue to play a role in court.

A memo released last week showed that Heggs issued instructions to start kicking out trans troops who did not voluntarily leave before June 6.

Shortly after Trump returned to the White House, he signed an executive order in January that reversed a Biden administration policy that allowed transgender troops to serve.

Officials say there are 4,240 active and National Guard transgender forces in the U.S., although some trans rights advocates say the number may be higher.
