A federal judge on Tuesday temporarily paused three agencies from modifying or removing data from their websites and ordered them to restore deleted pages related to public health.
The temporary restraining order requires the Department of Health and Human Services as well as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration to reinstate relevant webpages by 11:59 p.m. Tuesday. The order will remain in place while litigation continues.
Doctors for America sued the agencies and the Office of Personnel Management last week after the removal of several webpages, including guidance related to sexually transmitted infections, or STIs, and HIV.
