A federal judge in Chicago has extended an order preventing the Trump administration from cutting $600 million in public health grants to Illinois, Minnesota, Colorado, and California. The cuts would have affected HIV tracking, lead poisoning prevention, family planning, and other public health initiatives across the four states. The judge issued a preliminary injunction in the Northern District of Illinois Court, extending a temporary restraining order issued last month that was set to expire. He stated that the cuts could have led to "irreparable harm" and that the public interest was in preserving the funding.
