Doctors sue Tennessee over rule affecting immigrant children with disabilities as court decision looms
The Tennessee Justice Center filed a lawsuit on behalf of three Nashville physicians challenging a Tennessee Department of Health rule that requires families of children in the Children’s Special Services program to disenroll or risk being reported to immigration authorities. A temporary restraining order has halted the rule’s implementation, with a court decision expected by July 2.
