According to POLITICO, nine Planned Parenthood state affiliates that receive federal money from the 55-year-old Title X family planning program received a letter on Monday announcing that their funding is being “temporarily withheld” for “possible violations” of federal civil rights law and President Donald Trump’s executive orders — including prohibitions on the promotion of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
Funding is also being withheld, according to the article, because the organization “overtly encourages illegal aliens to receive care.”
“HHS is giving Planned Parenthood 10 days to provide evidence that it will comply with the Trump administration’s executive orders, and will inform the group after that whether the grants are suspended or terminated,” POLITICO explained.
HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon told POLITICO that the agency is withholding payments to 16 Title X providers, including the nine Planned Parenthood affiliates, “to ensure these entities are in full compliance with Federal law and applicable grant terms, and to ensure responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars.”
