Federal Judge Orders Restoration of Vital Health Information After Trump Administration Purge
A judge mandates restoration of health websites removed under Trump's executive order, citing potential public health risks and the need for timely patient care.
Overview
On February 11, U.S. District Judge John Bates ordered federal health agencies to restore webpages that were abruptly removed due to President Trump’s executive order on gender ideology. The order affects vital resources including guidance on HIV prevention and contraceptives, and came after a lawsuit by Doctors for America and Public Citizen, which argued that the removals violated the Paperwork Reduction Act and hindered patient care. Bates emphasized that the loss endangered public health, particularly for underprivileged communities. Agencies must restore the webpages by midnight and work to identify any additional essential resources for doctors.
