What the Evidence Shows
The claim states that 20 states sued after the Trump administration released private Medicaid data to deportation officials. Multiple news sources confirm that twenty states, including California and Washington, have indeed sued the Trump administration over this issue. The lawsuit alleges that the administration violated federal privacy laws by turning over Medicaid data on millions of enrollees to federal immigration enforcement agencies, specifically those involved in deportation.
This action reportedly occurred recently, prompting the legal challenge. The sources consistently report the number of states involved as twenty and describe the nature of the data shared as private Medicaid information being provided to immigration enforcement (deportation) officials. There is no contradictory information in the search results disputing this event or the number of states involved.
Therefore, based on the available evidence, the claim is accurate and supported by multiple reputable news outlets.
