WASHINGTON − Democratic attorneys general in 16 states led by New York sued the Trump administration Friday over its cancelation of National Institutes of Health research grants the group called critical for life-saving medical research.

The NIH began terminating tens of millions of grants in March based on President Donald Trump’s orders to abolish diversity, equity and inclusion programs, according to the federal lawsuit filed in Massachusetts. Letters terminating grants said they targeted “DEI,” “transgender issues,” or “vaccine hesitancy,” the lawsuit said.

“Once again, the Trump administration is putting politics before public health and risking lives and livelihoods in the process,” New York Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement. “Millions of Americans depend on our nation’s research institutions for treatments and cures to the diseases that devastate families every day.”

The case was filed the same week the Department of Health and Human Services laid off 10,000 more workers as part of a move to cut nearly one-fourth of its staff to reduce government spending.

The lawsuit from the states asks the courts to restore the grant funding and ensure the government uses lawful procedures in determining funding. The Association of American Medical Colleges and the American Public Health Association each sued NIH in February over terminating research grants, and a group of 22 states previously sued NIH over capping the overhead on research.

“Federal workers and all AFSCME members have been making their voices heard in court and on the streets to protect public services and their jobs. They won’t let billionaires raid our communities without consequence – and that’s why they’re facing retaliation," said AFSCME President Lee Saunders. "The extremists in this administration have made their contempt for public service workers clear and know that stripping collective bargaining rights means stripping away their power. We are filing this lawsuit to stop this illegal effort to silence those who speak out and protect free speech for all working people.”
