​AG Bonta, filed a lawsuit challenging the Trump Administration’s attempt to impose new discriminatory conditions on U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) grants. The conditions would require federal funding recipients to comply with vague, hateful, and unrelated policies on immigration, gender ideology, transgender athletes, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. 

“This attack on vital programs is just another line item in the President’s long list of failed attempts to weaponize essential funding as a political bargaining chip. It was illegal before, and it’s still illegal now. Instead of helping vulnerable families and children, President Trump is attempting to use funds as leverage for other points on his political to-do list. Except, this isn’t leverage — it’s funding to help families and children. We don’t wake up looking to fight against the Trump Administration; we’re fighting for Californians. Unfortunately, all too often, those end up being the same fight. Once again, we will see this Administration in court.” – AG Bonta
