Colorado expands lawsuit over alleged Trump retaliation
Colorado alleges a retaliatory campaign by the Trump administration violating constitutional and federal laws, updating its lawsuit with new claims of punitive federal cuts and relocations.
- Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser updated the state's federal lawsuit, accusing the Trump administration of an `unmistakable campaign of punishment` against the state and citing the U.S. Constitution’s ban on singling out states.
- Weiser says the state alleges retaliation over Colorado's vote-by-mail system and its refusal to release Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters despite a pardon.
- The lawsuit lists terminating $615 million in U.S. Department of Energy funding and dismantling the National Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder.
- It asks the U.S. District Court of Colorado to act, declaring the detailed actions unconstitutional under the 10th Amendment, Elections Clause, state sovereignty, and separation-of-powers claims.
- In the past year, the State of Colorado has joined or filed 50 lawsuits against the Trump administration, a pace the state describes as one every seven days.
