California Has Sued This Trump Administration Way More than the Last One. Here’s Where Cases Stand
CALIFORNIA, JUL 19 – California leads a coalition of Democratic states in over 30 lawsuits against Trump policies, winning nearly two-thirds of 123 cases filed during his first term, officials say.
- Since Jan. 20, 2025, California Attorney General Rob Bonta has filed or joined 34 lawsuits against the Trump administration, launching a broad legal campaign.
- With $50 million set aside in February, California legislature reinforced its funding of legal challenges.
- Challenging federal policies, California and other Democratic states took on climate action, school funding, birthright citizenship and sanctuary rules, and a court blocked a freeze on $168 billion in federal grants.
- While a preliminary injunction protected transportation grants, an appeals court halted the National Guard control order.
- Next month, Judge Charles Breyer set a trial for Aug. 11, and the Ninth Circuit Court scheduled oral arguments for Sept. 17.
