AG Neronha issued the following statement after securing an agreement requiring the Trump Administration to release the full balance of remaining education funding at issue in a multistate lawsuit by no later than October 3, 2025. Last month, Attorney General Neronha joined a coalition in suing the Trump Administration over its unconstitutional, unlawful, and arbitrary decision to freeze funding for six longstanding programs administered by the U.S. Department of Education just weeks before the school year was set to start. 

“When we fight back against this Administration, we win. Because of our lawsuit and immense public pressure, billions in critical education funding will rightfully be restored to fund a wide range of important educational programs, without which the growth and enrichment of our young people would be stifled. That said, our victory in this case must be put into context: this funding was not the President’s to withhold in the first place. We will continue to hold this Administration accountable, and we do so with the overwhelming support of everyday Americans who stand with us in fighting for what’s right. We have built the biggest and best law firm in the country, and we go to work every day for one client: the American people.” – AG Neronha
