US EditionAfter judge’s ruling, HHS authorized to resume sharing some Medicaid data with deportation officers
A federal judge permits limited sharing of basic Medicaid data on undocumented immigrants with immigration enforcement while blocking sensitive medical details, affecting 22 states.
- On Monday, U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria in San Francisco allowed HHS to resume sharing basic biographical, location, and contact information with ICE after Jan. 5, limited to data from 22 states.
- After an Associated Press disclosure, 22 plaintiff states sued over privacy concerns, while Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said the sharing aligns with federal law and immigration priorities.
- Chhabria prohibited release of detailed medical records to immigration authorities while the case continues and barred HHS and CMS from sharing sensitive data on U.S. citizens and legal immigrants in the 22 plaintiff states.
- On Monday, CMS said it was unclear whether HHS had resumed sharing data on 77 million Medicaid enrollees, sparking concerns from immigration advocates.
- Neither agreement was publicly disclosed, and officials have pursued other data-sharing efforts across agencies; the sharing fits a Trump administration crackdown making schools, churches and courthouses feel perilous to immigrants.
