Administration Update: Birthright Citizenship, Medicaid Data Sharing; H-1B Visas

America's Essential Hospitals is closely monitoring the executive orders signed by President Trump since he took office on Jan. 20, as well as related lawsuits challenging the executive orders and other agency actions. The association will continue to provide biweekly lawsuit updates and real-time summaries of executive orders and related agency actions.

Since the association's last update, on Dec. 8, the Supreme Court agreed to soon hear a case challenging the constitutionality of the president's executive order ending birthright citizenship.

A California district court extended a preliminary injunction continuing to halt the Department of Health & Human Services from sharing the suing states' Medicaid data with the Department of Homeland Security until Jan. 5.

A group of 20 states filed a lawsuit in a Massachusetts district court challenging the president's proclamation raising the application fee for employees filing new H-1B visa petitions to $100,000.

Members can access the association's latest review of the lawsuits against the Trump administration's actions and a full summary of executive orders from Jan. 20 through Aug. 19.
