US EditionJudge deems Trump's National Institutes of Health grant cuts illegal
- On June 16, 2025, Judge William J. Young ruled that the Trump administration's National Institutes of Health grant terminations were illegal and void in Massachusetts federal court.
- The ruling followed lawsuits filed by multiple states, organizations, and researchers alleging the cuts targeted equity-related projects politically and violated legal mandates.
- Researchers like Harvard's Brittany M. Charlton reported billions in funding losses, project shutdowns, and patient treatment disruptions due to halted grants involving LGBTQ and minority health studies.
- Young stated that the level of government-supported racial discrimination in this case was unprecedented in his experience, characterizing the actions as clearly targeting marginalized communities.
- The judge ordered grant restorations, marking a temporary win for affected researchers while allowing the decision to be appealed and signaling continued legal and policy challenges.
