Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell today issued the following statement after her office secured a victory in its case against the Trump Administration, challenging its efforts to strong arm states into participating in its unlawful immigration enforcement tactics by withholding billions of dollars in federal funding for emergency services.

“Today, the Court ruled that the Trump Administration cannot bully states into taking part in their fear-driven, inhumane immigration agenda by withholding congressionally appropriated funds,” said AG Campbell. “I applaud the Court’s decision, which will protect billions of dollars to help states ensure public safety and prepare for, protect against, and respond to catastrophic natural disasters. We will continue to hold the Trump Administration accountable when it violates our laws and puts our residents at risk.”
