A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from withholding over $10 billion in child care and family assistance funds to five Democratic-led states: California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, and New York. The states sued after the Department of Health and Human Services cited concerns about fraud and benefits potentially going to non-citizens. U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian ruled the states met the legal threshold to preserve the status quo while the case is heard, offering short-term relief.
