U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes, who recently blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order banning transgender individuals from military service, has a long history of involvement with the Democratic Party. Since 2008, she has reportedly donated over $38,000 to Democratic campaigns and organizations.
Judge Reyes, a Biden appointee and the first openly gay federal judge in D.C., also volunteered for former President Joe Biden’s campaigns. Before her judicial appointment, she was a partner at Williams & Connolly LLP, a firm known for representing Democratic figures. Her legal career includes extensive pro bono work, particularly in asylum and human rights cases.
