Justice Department Joins Catholic Nuns’ Lawsuit Against New York’s Housing Rule
Federal prosecutors say the law lacks a religious exemption and could force the nuns to choose between their faith and their license.
- On Thursday, the Justice Department intervened in a lawsuit filed by The Dominican Sisters, backing their constitutional challenge against a New York law requiring long-term care facilities to assign rooms and use pronouns based on gender identity.
- The 2024 LGBTQ Long-Term Care Facility Residents law mandates room assignments by gender identity, which the Sisters argue conflicts with their Catholic faith as they operate Rosary Hill, a 42-bed hospice serving indigent patients.
- Federal prosecutors argue the law violates the Constitution's equal protection clause by granting exceptions for secular clinical judgments while denying similar accommodations for religious objections. The Sisters face imminent fines and license revocation for noncompliance.
- Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said the intervention warns states they cannot require Americans to abandon religious beliefs, and the Catholic Benefits Association has joined the legal challenge to support the nuns.
