Attorney General Kwame Raoul led a coalition of 12 attorneys general in filing a lawsuit to stop the Trump administration from unlawfully reallocating federal homeland security funding away from states based on their compliance with the administration’s political agenda.
“The Trump administration is jeopardizing the safety of Americans in a chaotic and illegal attempt to coerce states into compliance with the president’s political agenda,” Raoul said. “Congress approved this funding with the understanding that our nation is at its strongest when all Americans, everywhere, are protected from terrorism. I ask the court to block this unlawful action.”
