Twenty states sue over Trump's push to link grants to immigration enforcement

  • On Tuesday, a group of Democratic attorneys general from 20 states initiated two federal lawsuits in Rhode Island challenging the Trump administration.
  • The lawsuits challenge threats from top officials in the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Transportation to withhold billions in funding unless states implement specific immigration enforcement measures.
  • The lawsuits argue that the administration is overstepping constitutional boundaries by attempting to control how federal funds are allocated, a responsibility that belongs solely to Congress.
  • California Attorney General Rob Bonta described the threat as imminent and emphasized that President Donald Trump should not leverage these funds to coerce states into following his policy preferences.
  • The lawsuits represent ongoing opposition from Democratic-led states challenging federal policy shifts on immigration and funding conditions since Trump took office earlier this year.
