A U.S. District Court judge sided with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) late Sunday night in a ruling that temporarily restores $12 million in funding to the group.

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy abruptly cancelled previously awarded grants worth $18 million to AAP in December, in what the children’s health group called a “retaliatory move.”

U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell in Washington, D.C. agreed, restoring a portion of the funding as AAP’s lawsuit against the Trump administration plays out.
