CA-AG v. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services

PendingFiled: January 7, 2026

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services allegedly imposed a funding freeze immediately and exclusively on five Democratic-led states because of serious concerns about widespread fraud and misuse of taxpayer dollars, according to CA-AG. The attorneys general argue that the Trump Administration’s actions may violate the Administrative Procedure Act, the Separation of Powers, and the U.S. Constitution’s Appropriations Clause and Spending Clause.
