AG Nessel Secures Preliminary Injunction to Reinstate $370 Million in Public Health Grant Cuts in Michigan

*LANSING* – Today, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel and a coalition of 24 attorneys general secured a preliminary injunction (PDF) [ [link removed] ] to ensure the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) releases nearly $11 billion in critical public health grants nationwide, including $379.3 million in grant funding awarded and owed to the State of Michigan. The coalition filed a lawsuit in April [ [link removed] ] seeking to invalidate Secretary Robert Kennedy’s and HHS’s mass grant terminations in the litigating states and to prevent HHS from maintaining or reinstating the terminations and any agency actions implementing them. 

“The Trump Administration cannot trample the rule of law to serve the President’s political agenda, and I am pleased with the Court’s decision to block its unlawful attempt to withhold millions in Congressionally authorized and appropriated public health grants from Michigan,” Nessel said. “Because of this ruling, our state can continue delivering vital public health services, including infectious disease control and vaccinations for children and vulnerable adults. I remain committed to protecting the health and safety of Michiganders.” 

The preliminary injunction is limited to litigating states and requires HHS to report on steps taken to comply with the injunction on Tuesday, June 20. 

Attorney General Nessel was joined by the attorneys general of Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Hawai‘i, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, Washington, and Wisconsin, and the Governors of Kentucky and Pennsylvania.
