In a significant legal move, twenty states have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for allegedly sharing private Medicaid data with immigration enforcement officials. The lawsuit accuses the administration of releasing this sensitive health information to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which could potentially compromise the privacy of non-citizens receiving medical assistance. Attorney General Bonta of California is leading the charge, joined by officials from several other states including Washington, Colorado, and Maryland. The lawsuit aims to halt what the states describe as an illegal use of health data that undermines the confidentiality of Medicaid enrollees and threatens the well-being of immigrant communities amidst ongoing deportation efforts.
