AG ​Weiser today led a group of state attorneys general in filing a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Emergency Management Agency for illegally and abruptly ending millions in grants to states to prevent targeted violence and terrorist attacks.

“The Trump administration has unlawfully ended millions in grants used to prevent targeted violence and terrorism, not because the risks have decreased, but rather to punish states the president doesn’t like. […] These federal funds are critical for the state to work with local law enforcement to address such threats, which are about saving lives and have no political or partisan elements to them. That’s why we are suing to recover these illegally withheld grants,” – AG Weiser
