New York Attorney General Letitia James, alongside 19 other states, filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration aimed at halting significant cuts and restructuring within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This restructuring, which includes mass layoffs reducing the workforce from 82,000 to 62,000, is claimed to endanger public health and violate constitutional mandates. The lawsuit contends that such actions jeopardize critical health services, particularly affecting programs addressing chronic diseases, mental health, and substance abuse. The AG argues these changes sabotage rather than streamline government operations.
This lawsuit underscores how crucial the Health and Human Services Department is to public health, and it highlights the severe ramifications of mass layoffs and restructuring.
Letitia James emphasized that dismantling Health and Human Services violates constitutional mandates and endangers the health of countless citizens and public health frameworks.
