Attorney General Clark Sues Trump Administration for Illegally Sharing Personal Health Data with ICE (Office of the Vermont Attorney General)
- On June 13, 2025, Washington and 19 other states filed a lawsuit accusing HHS of illegally sharing millions of Medicaid enrollees' personal health data with DHS to aid immigration enforcement.
- This data transfer followed a June 10 directive by HHS officials to send full Medicaid records, including names and addresses, despite legal objections from CMS staff and privacy concerns.
- The lawsuit argues the sharing violates federal laws and longstanding policies limiting health data use to Medicaid administration and public health purposes, undermining trust especially in immigrant communities.
- Attorney General Clark criticized the Trump Administration for unlawfully violating the public’s trust by failing to respect individuals' right to privacy, highlighting the serious consequences for vulnerable groups.
- The legal action seeks to block further dissemination and use of Medicaid data in immigration enforcement, warning that fear of data misuse may lead individuals to avoid needed emergency healthcare.
