U.S. District Judge Edward Lodge ruled Friday the BLM failed to analyze consequences of the action and ordered the agency to reconsider its decision. “The BLM’s decision in this case is arbitrary and capricious because it did not consider the significant impacts its decision may have on the free-roaming nature of the herd nor explain why its decision is appropriate despite those impacts,” Lodge wrote in his 44-page ruling. The American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign and two other groups who filed the lawsuit had also argued the BLM adopted a plan that failed to protect wild horses. However, Lodge said he wouldn’t rule on whether or not the BLM violated the Wild Free Roaming Horses and Burros Act. Instead, he instructed the BLM to better articulate its reasoning for using sterilization. ACLU sues PeaceHealth, says it didn’t cover transgender care SEATTLE (AP) — A longtime worker for a Catholic health care system in the Northwest sued the organization Thursday, saying its employee insurance plan refused to cover gender-reassignment surgery for her teenage son. The American Civil Liberties Union of Washington filed the discrimination lawsuit against PeaceHealth in federal court on behalf of Cheryl Enstad of Bellingham and her son, Paxton Enstad, 17. She said she and her husband eventually took out a second mortgage and dipped into Paxton’s college fund to pay more than $10,000 for his surgery last fall. “PeaceHealth was telling me my son was undeserving of medical care simply because he’s transgender,” Cheryl Enstad told a news conference Thursday. “It’s heartbreaking. It is not fair.” The lawsuit cites violations of the federal Affordable Care Act as well as Washington state anti-discrimination law. PeaceHealth is a nonprofit based in Vancouver, Washington, and operates 10 medical centers in Oregon, Washington and Alaska. A statement issued by the company did not address whether its self-funded health plan for employees covers gender reassignment surgery. A PeaceHealth spokesman, Jeremy Rush, said he was seeking more information about its policies and what happened in the Enstads’ case.

Rep. Mike Nearman, a Republican from the town of Independence who was the chief petitioner, blamed Democratic Gov. Kate Brown, saying her delay in signing the bill weeks after it was passed by the Legisla- ture gave too little time to get enough signatures. Petitioners had 90 days from the end of the Legisla- tive session, which was July 7, to get the signatures but couldn’t begin to gather them until the governor signed the bill, which was Aug. 15. The opponents said they collected fewer than 25,000 signatures of the 58,142 they needed by Thursday. The gun bill was champi- oned by another Republican member of the Legislature, Sen. Brian Boquist of Dallas. In advocating for the bill on May 1, he said it was aimed at preventing suicides among military veterans. A former Special Forces officer, Boquist cited the high number of suicides among veterans. His own stepson, a Navy veteran, committed suicide in 2016. “In Oregon, on average it’s 150 veterans a year who AP Photo/Ryan Kang, File In this 2015 file photo, Michael Johnson wears a firearm as he waits outside of Roseburg Municipal Airport for President Barack Obama’s arrival in Roseburg. commit suicide,” Boquist said. The new law creates a process for a law enforce- ment officer or a household member to obtain an “extreme risk protection order” that prohibits a person from possessing a deadly weapon when a court finds that person is at risk of suicide or harming someone else. The court would issue a statement telling the person: “You are required to surrender all deadly weapons in your custody, control or possession. You may not have in your custody or control, purchase, possess, receive, or attempt to purchase or receive, deadly weapons while this order is in effect.” State Sen. Ginny Burdick, D-Portland and a chief sponsor of the bill, called the repeal campaign’s failure “a victory for Oregon.” The new law “will help prevent suicide and other dangerous behavior,” she said. Last November, voters in Washington state approved a measure to reduce gun violence by taking firearms away from people who are found by a judge to be a danger to themselves or others. Boquist used that law as a model for the bill in Oregon.
