Kwame Raoul and the A.G.s from California, Colorado and Minnesota say the Trump Administration is unlawfully cutting more than $600 million in Centers for Disease Control and Prevention grants because the administration disagrees with the politics of those four states.

The attorneys general's lawsuit asks a court to issue a temporary restraining order to stop the implementation of directives which could affect some health programs starting on Thursday.
