DETAILS
It’s not immediately clear whether DHS will seek to appeal to the state Supreme Court. Previously, Griffen issued a temporary restraining order that applied just to the seven plaintiffs bringing the suit (rather than to every beneficiary, as today’s ruling does) and DHS appealed that decision. But the justices affirmed Griffen’s earlier decision in November.
