US EditionTwenty states sue over Trump's push to link grants to immigration enforcement
- On May 13, 2025, attorneys general from twenty Democratic-led states initiated a pair of federal legal actions in Rhode Island challenging the Trump administration’s conditions for allocating transportation and disaster-relief funding.
- The lawsuits allege that the administration threatened to withhold billions of dollars allocated for transportation and disaster relief if states do not enforce immigration policies and dismantle diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.
- The suits argue the administration illegally attempts to control federal spending, a power granted to Congress, and that these actions violate the U.S. Constitution.
- California Attorney General Rob Bonta warned that the risk of funding being cut is near, while DOJ spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin asserted that legal challenges will not prevent the Trump Administration from enforcing its immigration policies.
- These lawsuits add to legal challenges by Democratic-led states on Trump policies, suggesting ongoing conflicts over federal authority and immigration enforcement approaches.
