What the Evidence Shows

The claim states that California leads 20 states in a lawsuit against the Trump administration regarding the sharing of Medicaid data with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). However, the only relevant search result about such a lawsuit indicates that Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey (referred to as AG Campbell in the source) is leading a multi-state lawsuit against the Trump administration for alleged illegal health data sharing with ICE, which is part of DHS.

There is no mention in the provided sources that California is leading this lawsuit or even involved in it. The other search results about California provide general information about the state and do not relate to any legal action concerning Medicaid data sharing.

Therefore, based on the available information, the claim that California leads this multi-state suit is false.
