US EditionPhil Weiser, Other Attorneys General, Suing Trump Administration over Billions in Withheld Education Funds
KENTUCKY, JUL 15 – A coalition of 24 Democrat-led states challenges the Trump administration's freeze of $6.8 billion in education grants, risking staff cuts and program losses, officials say.
- Democratic attorneys general from 24 states filed a lawsuit on July 14 against the Trump administration over withholding $6.8 billion in federal education funds.
- The funding freeze, ordered to review program alignment with presidential priorities, halted payments originally required for delivery on July 1.
- The withheld grants support after-school care, summer programs, mental health services, and educational support, mostly in Republican-led and rural districts.
- Los Angeles Superintendent Carvalho detailed a $100 million loss threat, and Governor Polis said this freeze will cause serious financial pressure on schools and harm students.
- The lawsuit alleges the freeze violates federal law and the Constitution, and many low-income families risk losing program access without released funds soon.
