States and DC Unite in Lawsuit Against Trump Administration's Federal Health Agency Rollbacks

Democratic attorneys general from 19 states and Washington, DC, have initiated a lawsuit against the US Department of Health and Human Services, led by Attorney General Letitia James. They claim recent restructuring jeopardizes public health after significant program cuts and layoffs. The lawsuit aims to halt these "unconstitutional" actions while HHS defends its legal adherence and reform intentions. Critics argue that the changes have destabilized essential services, particularly impacting vulnerable populations reliant on programs like Head Start. This case is part of broader challenges against the administration's controversial policies.
