What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Trump administration issued a memorandum opinion on June 18 regarding civil rights enforcement, stating that neither Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act nor Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act requires states to integrate individuals with disabilities into community settings. The opinion further asserted that states could offer any 'nonarbitrary rationale,' including budget constraints, for maintaining institutionalization. A month later, the Department of Justice published a Federal Register notice announcing it would no longer rely on its 1998 *Olmstead* decision guidance.
