Justice Department Joins Catholic Nuns’ Lawsuit Against New York’s Housing Rule
The lawsuit alleges that New York is violating the sisters’ First Amendment rights to the free exercise of religion and free speech.
Justice Department Joins Catholic Nuns’ Lawsuit …
The Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne, who have cared for terminal cancer patients at no charge for 125 years, sued the state after the New York Department of Health sent them three warnings about not following the transgender policies.
One letter warns about “refusing to assign a room to a resident other than in accordance with the resident’s gender identity,” “prohibiting a resident from using a restroom available to other persons of the same gender identity,” and “willfully and repeatedly failing to use a resident’s preferred name or pronouns after being clearly informed of the preferred name or pronouns.”
On June 18, the DOJ notified the U.S. District Court of its intent to intervene on behalf of the sisters, asserting that New York’s law violates their constitutional right to equal protection as a religious group.
