States Sue Over Trump Admin Data Rule | Burlington News
Description
Over 20 states and D.C. are suing the Trump administration over a controversial rule that would let federal agencies access deeply personal data—like immigration status and Social Security numbers—of families receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families benefits. Worth $16 billion annually, this vital anti-poverty program supports cash aid, job training, and more for struggling families. Critics argue the rule weaponizes aid programs to target vulnerable populations, not help them. Filed in federal court, the lawsuit challenges the administration’s move to expand data sharing with other government branches or private entities. The agency overseeing the program has yet to respond.
