Trump administration must resume $11 billion in funding for public health departments, judge rules
A federal judge says the government must stop slashing billions in money for public health departments.
By DEVNA BOSE, Associated Press Health Writer
President Donald Trumpâs administration must put the brakes on slashing billions in federal money for public health departments, a federal judge said Friday.
U.S. District Judge Mary McElroy in Rhode Island granted the preliminary injunction request in the lawsuit brought last by a coalition of Democrat-led states. She had granted a temporary restraining order last month in the case.
The lawsuit filed April 1 by 23 states and the District of Columbia sought to immediately halt $11 billion in cuts, alleging that it would decimate public health infrastructure across the country. The money, allocated by Congress during the pandemic, supported COVID-19 initiatives and mental health and substance abuse efforts.
The injunction only applies to the states involved in the lawsuit. The federal government must file documentation that theyâre complying with the order by Tuesday evening.
Health departments across the country have said theyâve laid off employees after the Trump administration began to clawback the money in late March.
