President Donald Trump has signed more than 50 executive orders aimed at reshaping the government.

The flood of orders has led to over two dozen lawsuits and a number of court decisions halting some of the orders.

Government agencies have also used the orders to try to freeze federal funding nationwide and offer buyouts to the bulk of government employees.

Two lawsuits were filed on behalf of four transgender women prisoners who were scheduled to be transferred to men's facilities.

They argued that the order constituted cruel and unusual punishment because they would be at serious risk of violence and sexual assault in a facility for men.

Two judges blocked the inmates from being moved.

In a suit involving three of the prisoners, a judge concluded that “the public interest in seeing the plaintiffs relocated immediately to male facilities is slight at best”.
