Democratic-led states filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration on Monday, challenging a policy that would provide immigration authorities with access to personal data of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) recipients.
The lawsuit alleges that the Trump administration’s method of collecting data on welfare recipients violates federal privacy laws.
The Trump administration is defending its policy regarding the sharing of personal data belonging to TANF recipients.
The legal action centers on the administration's policy of sharing benefits data with immigration authorities.
