A coalition of 60 local governments, including Santa Clara, Alameda, and San Mateo counties, is suing to prevent the Trump administration from adding conditions to federal grants. The administration's executive orders require compliance with its agenda, impacting grant recipients. The lawsuit, focused on the Department of Health and Human Services, builds on a prior case regarding grants from HUD and DOT. Judge Barbara J. Rothstein granted a preliminary injunction, and the coalition aims to protect over $12 billion in funds threatened by Trump's actions, which are seen as unlawful and unrelated to health care funding.
The Trump administration's actions of placing conditions on federal grants could threaten over $12 billion in funding aimed at health care and other essential services.
Kavita Narayan from Santa Clara County stated that federal law mandates conditions on grants must relate to the funding's purpose, which Trump's limitations do not fulfill.
