The Trump administration restores federal webpages after court order


Doctors filed suit to restore access.

Doctors for America (DFA), which represents physicians and medical students, filed suit last week against the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) for taking health data off government websites. The agencies started taking webpages down after President Donald Trump signed an anti-trans executive order, “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government,” on his first day in office. The plaintiffs claim that removing the data forced DFA members “to scramble in search of alternative resources to guide how they treat patients; slowed their clinical practices or reduced the amount of information they can convey to patients in time-limited visits; and paused or slowed their vital research.” They say a temporary restraining order is necessary to protect their practices and public health while the lawsuit determines whether the defendants’ actions were lawful or not.
