The Trump administration restores federal webpages after court order
1 min read
Summary
Doctors for America (DFA) filed a lawsuit last week against the US government for removing public health data from government websites, and a judge subsequently ordered the information to be returned to the webpages.
The data was removed after President Trump signed an executive order restricting information on gender identity.
The information removed included the social vulnerability index, which shows whether particular populations might face disproportionate health risks.
DFA alleged the government had violated the Administrative Procedure Act and the Paperwork Reduction Act by not giving adequate notice in advance of the changes.
While the named webpages have been restored, the defendants have been given until 14 February to restore any other relevant resources.
