The Justice Department filed a counter-suit against the state of North Carolina on Monday, just hours after Gov. Pat McCrory sued the Obama administration over the Justice Department's demand that the state stop implementing a law blocking protections for gay and transgender individuals.

The Justice Department's suit, filed in U.S. District Court in North Carolina, seeks a preliminary injunction to block implementation of the state's House Bill 2, which requires transgender individuals to use bathrooms that align with the gender listed on their birth certificate, as opposed to their gender identity.
