NYU Langone Health received a two-week extension on a federal subpoena to identify children who received gender-affirming care, marking a June 24 deadline, after transgender patients argued the demand violates their constitutional rights.

Three transgender minors joined two adults, who had previously received NYU Langone’s youth gender-affirming care, to sue the medical center and the U.S. Department of Justice on Tuesday — eight days before the subpoena’s original June 10 deadline. The plaintiffs claimed the subpoena jeopardizes their protected medical information, violating their civil rights.

Lawyers from the American Civil Liberties Union, the New York Civil Liberties Union and the LGBTQ+ rights group Lambda Legal are representing the patients in the class-action suit. They asked the judge to issue a temporary restraining order, blocking NYU Langone from complying with the subpoena, while the lawsuit is ongoing. On June 22, the groups will appear in court with NYU Langone and the Justice Department’s legal teams.

A man was arrested for raising a flag with two swastikas and the Star of David on the Steinhardt building during NYU’s Grad Alley event last month. The suspect — who was a Steinhardt senior at the time — will also face the university’s disciplinary measures for committing the hate crime.

The New York City Police Department charged Alexander Stepnowsky with aggravated harassment, hate crime burglary and criminal trespassing in a hate crime, arresting him Tuesday afternoon on the Lower East Side. After reviewing surveillance footage, police officers verified that Stepnowsky had entered the West Fourth Street building and attached the blue flag, with the letters “NYU,” to a flagpole on the roof. Although he admitted to raising the flag, Stepnowsky pleaded not guiltyat his Wednesday court appearance and was released without bail before his next hearing, due in August. 

NYU spokesperson Wiley Norvell told the New York Times that after the annual graduation celebration — which had brought hundreds to West Fourth Street when the flag was raised — administrators investigated the “antisemitic flag” in collaboration with the NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force. Norvell did not confirm whether the suspect, who studied music technology, has since graduated from NYU.
