US EditionOver 20 states sue Trump administration over frozen after-school and summer program funds
UNITED STATES, JUL 14 – The lawsuit claims the Trump administration illegally froze $6.8 billion in federal education grants for programs aiding 1.4 million children and teacher training, impacting states nationwide.
- More than 20 states sued the Trump administration on Monday over freezing $6.8 billion in federal education grants for after-school and summer programs nationwide.
- On June 30, an email unexpectedly informed recipients that the release of funds would be suspended while a review was conducted to confirm the programs' alignment with presidential priorities.
- The withheld grants primarily support low-income students with academic support, enrichment, child care, and teacher training at over 926 Boys & Girls Clubs across the U.S.
- California Attorney General Rob Bonta emphasized that Congress, rather than the president, controls federal spending, while Georgia schools superintendent Richard Woods advocated for distributing the funding Congress had authorized and that President Trump had endorsed.
- The lawsuit claims the funding freeze violates federal law and the Constitution, threatening programs serving 1.4 million children just weeks before the 2025-26 academic year starts.
