A group of more than 20 states are suing the Trump administration over efforts to cut Medicaid payments to Planned Parenthood

A federal judge in Massachusetts on Monday ordered the federal government to continue Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood affiliates, writing the health organization was likely to prevail in a dispute over President Trump's tax-and-spending law.

A day after a federal judge in Massachusetts blocked the Trump administration from ending Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood, officials from Connecticut and 22 other states filed their own lawsuit to keep the clinics from losing federal dollars.
