The Trump administration is facing a new lawsuit from a coalition of LGBTQ, foster care and Native American groups over removing requirements from the child welfare reporting system to identify tribal children and lesbian, gay and bisexual youth in foster care.
The 78-page complaint, which was filed Thursday in the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of California, San Francisco Division, challenges the rule change the Department of Health & Human Services and the Administration for Children & Families made final in May to rescind authority of foster care workers to ask about the sexual orientation and tribal identities of youth.
