US EditionJudge deems Trump's National Institutes of Health grant cuts illegal
- On Monday, a federal judge ruled the Trump administration's cancellation of several hundred NIH research grants illegal and void.
- This ruling followed lawsuits by various groups alleging the grants were terminated without scientific justification and citing concerns about discrimination.

- Judge Young called the discrimination behind the cuts palpably clear and stressed resuming scientific research quickly, while the NIH has appealed the ruling.
- The decision grants researchers a temporary victory but faces likely appeals, with broader implications for federal funding and ongoing investigations of discrimination claims.
