AGs Sue Trump Admin Over HHS Mass Firings | JQJO

Twenty attorneys general, led by New York's Letitia James, sued the Trump administration for its mass firings and restructuring of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The lawsuit alleges the administration violated numerous laws by consolidating HHS agencies from 28 to 15 and laying off approximately 20,000 employees. The cuts impacted critical programs, including those for infectious disease research, mental health, and low-income assistance. The attorneys general claim these actions endanger public health and violate congressional authority. They are seeking a preliminary injunction to halt further cuts.
