Justin Walker

Justin Walker is a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. He was part of a judicial panel that recently issued a significant split decision upholding an injunction against a Trump administration policy that barred transgender individuals from enlisting in the military. This ruling allowed the ban to continue, a decision that has drawn attention due to its implications for LGBTQ+ rights and military service. Walker was also involved in another notable appellate decision concerning the Trump administration's asylum ban at the border, where the court agreed with a lower court that the ban was illegal. These rulings place Walker at the center of ongoing legal challenges to significant federal policies, highlighting his role in shaping the interpretation and application of laws affecting national security and immigration.
