A coalition of state attorneys general plans to file legal action against a White House order that freezes federal grant programs. Senator Chuck Schumer announced the impending lawsuit, led by New York Attorney General Letitia James and involving states like California and Illinois. The freeze order, articulated in a memo from Matthew Vaeth of the White House Office of Management and Budget, targets federal disbursements for various programs. The coalition argues that such actions undermine law and federal assistance that requires congressional approval, setting up a legal battle against the Trump administration's agenda.
The coalition is being led by New York Attorney General Letitia James, who emphasized the unconstitutionality of the freeze on federal funding that harms families.
Senator Chuck Schumer highlighted the urgency of the lawsuit, framing it as a necessary step to challenge the administration's actions that could disrupt federal financial assistance.
