AG coalition challenges Trump policy withholding trillions in aid

New York Attorney General, Letitia James, is leading a coalition of 22 other attorneys general suing to stop the implementation of a new Trump administration policy that orders the withholding of trillions of dollars in funding providing essential services to millions of Americans, including Caribbean immigrants.

The new policy, issued by the President's Office of Management and Budget, puts an indefinite pause on the majority of federal assistance to states.

Ms James says the policy would immediately jeopardise state programmes that provide critical health and childcare services to families in need, deliver support to public schools, combat hate crimes and violence against women, provide life-saving disaster relief to states, and more.
