(Chicago, IL) — A federal judge is temporarily blocking the Trump administration from cutting more than 600-million-dollars in Public Health grants for Illinois and several other Democratic-led states. The judge issued the temporary restraining order yesterday, a day after Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul joined attorneys general from California, Colorado and Minnesota sued the White House. The judge said the cuts were based on “arbitrary, capricious or unconstitutional” reasons. Raoul said Trump was “playing politics with critical public health funding” by cutting millions of dollars from HIV tracking and lead poisoning prevention.
