A coalition of states, including Maine, has notched a legal victory in its effort to stop the Trump administration from cutting billions of dollars in health and research funding.
A federal judge in Massachusetts yesterday granted a national preliminary injunction, meaning the cuts will remain paused as the case plays out.
Maine Attorney General Aaron Frey joined counterparts in 21 states to sue the administration. Last month, a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order against the National Institutes of Health to prevent the agency from making cuts.
In February Frey also joined a separate multistate lawsuit over billionaire Trump advisor Elon Musk's access to sensitive Treasury Department data.
