A federal judge in Massachusetts blocked the Trump administration's attempt to collect admissions data on applicants' race. The administration had ordered the Department of Education to collect this data from public universities. A coalition of 17 states, including Massachusetts, sued the administration over the data collection. The judge granted a preliminary injunction, citing the rushed timeline and potential for unlawful discrimination. The Department of Education was given 120 days to collect the data, but the judge said this was not enough time. The case is related to the Supreme Court's ruling on affirmative action.
