Twenty states and D.C. are suing the Trump administration over a new rule that would let federal agencies access sensitive personal data—like immigration status and Social Security numbers—from millions of low-income families receiving TANF benefits. States argue the policy dangerously expands surveillance, potentially sharing data with private groups and undermining anti-poverty programs meant to help those in need. Led by New York’s AG Letitia James, the coalition includes California, Illinois, and Massachusetts, highlighting a united front against what they see as an overreach threatening privacy and program integrity. The federal TANF agency hasn’t responded yet, but this high-stakes legal battle could reshape how government assistance is administered.
