A federal judge on Monday ruled Planned Parenthood clinics nationwide must continue to be reimbursed for Medicaid funding as the nation’s largest abortion provider fights President Donald Trump’s administration over efforts to defund the organization in his signature tax legislation.

A federal judge ruled that the policy violated the organization's First Amendment rights. But the Trump administration is likely to appeal the ruling, leaving affiliates unsure of their next move.

California and other liberal-led states sued the Trump administration Tuesday over a measure aimed at defunding Planned Parenthood clinics nationwide.
