U.S. District Court in Massachusetts

Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware are joining a multistate lawsuit against the Trump administration over Medicaid work requirements, arguing they will cause health insurance loss and implementation challenges. The lawsuit criticizes the new guidance on medical frailty exemptions as too restrictive, and seeks to block the rules while the case is active. The requirements, part of H.R. 1 signed by President Donald Trump, mandate 80 hours of monthly work or equivalent activities for Medicaid enrollees aged 19 to 64.

A Massachusetts man was sentenced in federal court in Rhode Island for his role in a murder-for-hire conspiracy targeting a federal witness linked to a criminal case in Massachusetts. The defendant admitted to participating in the plot against the witness, who was connected to a matter before the U.S. District Court in Massachusetts.
