US Edition20 states sue after the Trump administration releases private Medicaid data to deportation officials
- On July 2, 2025, Washington and 19 other states filed a lawsuit in the Northern District of California against HHS for transferring Medicaid data to DHS without notice.
- The lawsuit arose after HHS transferred millions of Medicaid records on June 13 to DHS, allegedly to build a database for mass deportations and immigration enforcement.
- The states argue the transfer violates the Medicaid Act and federal laws by giving DHS, including ICE, unrestricted access to sensitive health data unrelated to Medicaid administration.
- Attorney General Nick Brown emphasized that Washington residents trust their private information is shared solely for medical care, while Colorado AG Phil Weiser condemned the use of this data to support deportation efforts as unacceptable.
- The lawsuit seeks to block further data sharing to protect immigrant communities and prevent fear that may reduce Medicaid enrollment and worsen health outcomes for vulnerable populations.
