The legal battle over the governor's directive to investigate families of certain transgender children heated up this week. Groups suing the state want to make clear that state investigators should not be able to continue investigations while their case makes its way through courts.
The legal battle over the governor's directive to investigate families of certain transgender children heated up this week.
