States Sue Trump Administration Over Freeze of Safety Net Funds
2 weeks ago
Attorneys general in California, Colorado, Minnesota, Illinois, and New York have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration after it froze billions in federal aid for low-income families. The states say the action is an unconstitutional overreach that ignores funds approved by Congress.
The lawsuit seeks to force the release of money for programs including child care subsidies, temporary cash assistance, and social services grants. Officials warn the freeze harms vulnerable families and challenges state authority to implement federal programs.
