- 400 sick, disabled kids get second reprieve in Tennessee plans to report them to immigration office
A Nashville judge extended a restraining order blocking Tennessee Department of Health officials from reporting 400 sick and disabled immigrant children in a public health program to the state's immigration enforcement division. The health department had required families to opt out of the program or be reported by June 30, prompting a legal challenge from three doctors who argued the policy endangered patients and violated federal funding rules.
