AG Raoul, AG Bonta, AG Campbell, and AG Kaul leading a coalition of 21 AGs, announced a preliminary injunction was granted in the case over the Trump administration’s attempt to impose unconstitutional and unlawful conditions on USDA programs, grants, cooperative agreements and mutual interest agreements.   

“I appreciate the court granting this preliminary injunction because it means, while this case proceeds, vital funding will continue to go toward essential programs that provide nutrition support, rural firefighting capacity and ensure the safety of the national food chain. I will continue to stand with my colleagues to oppose the Trump administration’s attempts to force states like Illinois to comply with illegal conditions in order to receive funding that our most vulnerable residents depend upon. This coercion is unacceptable and we refuse to adopt the administration’s unlawful policies that attack our residents.” -AG Raoul
