Story summary

Patricia Head Moskal barred the Tennessee Health Department from sharing data on about 400 immigrant children.
Rule stems from a Tennessee law requiring immigration-status reporting for Children’s Special Services participants, part of a package supporting President Donald Trump’s crackdown.
