- The lawsuit argues that the administration's directive risks over $13.8 billion in funding essential for serving students, including those with disabilities.
- Both Connecticut Attorney General William Tong and Maryland's Attorney General Anthony Brown stated that the Trump administration's actions are illegal and threaten to undermine programs that ensure equal access to education for all students.
