Judge Blocks Use of Medicaid Data for Immigration Enforcement
A federal judge has ordered the U.S. government to stop sharing Medicaid data with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) began sharing Medicaid data in June 2025, but a coalition of 20 states filed a lawsuit to prevent this, arguing it violates the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
On July 4, President Donald Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which stops federal funds from being used to pay for nonemergency Medicaid benefits for immigrants illegally in the country.
A preliminary injunction was issued on August 12 by U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria of the Northern District of California, remaining in effect until HHS and DHS complete a compliant decision-making process.
