Judge blocks sharing of WA Medicaid data for immigration enforcement

SEATTLE – A federal judge has granted a preliminary injunction to block the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from using Medicaid data obtained from Washington and 19 other plaintiff states for immigration enforcement purposes.
