MI Attorney General Dana Nessel released the following statement after the federal government agreed to temporarily pause implementation of harmful new restrictions on access to public benefit programs: “While this change in agency policy remains deeply concerning, this agreement with the federal government ensures that critical public benefits programs – including Title X and mental health services – remain available to Michigan residents. It is my hope that this signals a step back from the administration’s harmful and illegal federal actions, but I remain committed to challenging any unlawful attempts to strip support from people when they need it most.” – AG Nessel
