Court Orders Trump Administration to Immediately Restore All Frozen Federal Funding

Oakland, CA…California Attorney General Rob Bonta today issued the following statement in response to a decision by the U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island to enforce the court’s prior order preventing the Trump Administration from implementing its freeze of up to $3 trillion in federal funding. The decision follows a motion to enforce filed by state attorneys general on Friday in light of evidence that the Trump Administration was continuing to block the disbursement of important state funding, including funding under the Inflation Reduction Act and Infrastructure, Investment, and Jobs Act, and for the National Institutes of Health.

“The Trump Administration continued to improperly freeze vital federal funding more than a week after a court ordered it not to, jeopardizing California’s efforts to strengthen domestic energy security and the construction of critical infrastructure projects,” said Attorney General Bonta. “No Administration is above the law. In every case we’ve filed to date, state attorneys general have successfully restrained the President’s abuse of executive power – and we will continue to hold him accountable; our democratic institutions depend on it. The court’s decision today is unequivocal: The Trump Administration must fully comply with the court’s order and immediately restore all federal funding while our litigation continues.”

Attorney General Bonta is leading a coalition of 23 attorney general, along with the attorneys general of New York, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Illinois, in bringing this litigation.

    I can’t believe we lost the election, and the House, and the Senate.
    Now Trump even halted Biden’s Billions of dollars of infrastructure/charging stations all across our country. Heck, there’s 7 charging stations already completed since 2021…. and we still lost it all because of a CA Prostitute stabbed our President Biden in the back.

    To whoever wrote they still can’t believe Democrats lost … everything …. Embrace the suck. Fkn democrats are out of touch and dnt give a fuck about this country. That’s clearly evidenced by all the EO’s Trumps been signing. His actions have done more in 4 weeks than ya’lls daddy Biden did in 4 fkn years. It’s only the beginning lmao. That’s the best part. Of course, if you dnt like it you are free to leave. That’s ur choices. Leave or deal with it cuz y’all ain’t got a choice as far as Trump goes. Matter of fact, all of you snowflake liberals take a seat the show is just beginning. Bwaaaahaaaaa

    To all you trumpsters who think that he’s saving y’all from anything, are sadly mist6. He don’t give a rats ass about no one except himself. When America goes down in flames everyone including the trumpsters will be going as well. And folks say leave the country? Dumb asses we were here first and I’m speaking from a Native American point of view. If all of you Europeans would have just stayed your Trump loving asses in Europe, this country would still be worth living in.

    I have yet to see them propose how they would get these “savings” back to anyone.
    However, I would rather have the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau protect us from predatory lending than everyone getting a check for $2.15.
