Federal judge blocks Trump administration from defunding some Planned Parenthood facilities

A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from cutting Medicaid funds to Planned Parenthood, following the One Big Beautiful Bill Act aimed at partially defunding the organization. Judge Indira Talwani ruled that the bill unconstitutionally punishes Planned Parenthood affiliates that do not provide abortions, stating that the injunction poses minimal harm to the administration while the lawsuit continues. The order affects some, but not all, Planned Parenthood facilities. The organization views the ruling as a partial victory and remains hopeful for further judicial action.
