Judge Manish Shah blocks $602M in CDC grant terminations to four states

U.S. District Judge Manish Shah issued a 14-day temporary restraining order on February 13, 2026, blocking the Trump administration from terminating $602 million in CDC public health grants to California, Colorado, Illinois, and Minnesota. The four states sued alleging the terminations were retaliatory, targeting states that opposed federal immigration enforcement. Judge Shah found the states had shown irreparable harm and were likely to succeed on the merits.
