Mustafa Kasubhai

Mustafa Kasubhai is a U.S. District Judge. He has recently been in the news for two significant rulings. First, he ruled against Robert F. Kennedy Jr., finding that Kennedy, acting as health secretary, overstepped his power by declaring gender-affirming treatments unsafe without following proper procedures. This ruling blocked the Trump administration's attempts to restrict access to such treatments. Second, Judge Kasubhai issued a preliminary injunction in a class-action lawsuit, ruling that ICE agents in Oregon cannot arrest individuals without warrants unless there is a risk of escape. This decision limits the Department of Homeland Security's practice of arresting immigrants encountered during enforcement operations. These rulings highlight Judge Kasubhai's role in interpreting and upholding legal standards related to both healthcare access and immigration enforcement.
