Washington, multistate coalition victory protects social services for low-income families
Summary
Washington Attorney General Nick Brown, co-leading a 21-state coalition, obtained a permanent court order stopping the federal administration's effort to eliminate funding for essential health, education, and social service programs for low-income families. The coalition filed suit in July 2025 challenging what it characterized as an unlawful deprivation of basic healthcare and social services.
What this may mean
A permanent court order, as described, carries greater durability than a preliminary injunction and would block the administration from reinstating the challenged funding cuts without further court action or successful appeal. The absence of detail on the enjoined agency actions limits assessment of which specific federal health program funding is protected.
