Donald Trump, to face Letitia James again – after crushing him in court – because New York AG is directed
Democratic leaders in several states are preparing to fight with the order of President Donald Trump to freeze federal funds and dollars oriented to billions, which directly finance federal assistance programs.
On Monday, the Trump administration issued a note ordering federal agencies “All activities related to the obligation or payment of all federal financial assistance”.
The Management and Budget Office (OMB) later explained that the freezing is “clearly limited to programs, projects and activities related to the president’s executive orders, such as Ending Dei, Green New Deal and financing of non -governmental organizations that undermine the national interest.”
The directive was alarms for a lot of Americans, including federal employees, from the administration crusade to the withdrawal of all programs, offices and jobs in the federal government.
Now several general prosecutors, led by the Prosecutor General New York Letitia James, who called the order “reckless and dangerous”, is preparing to sue administration to query the constitutionality of order.
“My office will take the next legal action against the unconstitutional break of this administration on federal financing,” James wrote On X. “We will not sit idly when this administration harms our families.”
James has already taken Trump to court for civil fraud, which caused a judgment of many thousands and thousands of dollars against the president. She was appointed political opponent for bringing a case against him, and after winning in the election in 2024, she undertook to challenge all attempts at revenge that his recent administration could make against her office or is New York, including the withdrawal of federal funds.
“The president does not decide which provisions of the enforcement and for whom. When the Congress devotes the financing of the program, the president cannot get this financing from the whim”, James he said At a press conference on Tuesday, calling federal funds, he’ll freeze “illegal order”.
She added that the upcoming lawsuit “would search for a court order to immediately stop Trump’s enforcement in order to preserve the vital funds for Americans.
“This decision is unlawful, dangerous, destructive, cruel. It is illegal, is unconstitutional”, the leader of the Senate minorities Chuck Schumer (Dn.y.) he said. “Simple and simple, this is the 2025 project. Project 2025 with another name.”
Trump’s Order – whose US District Judge Loren L. Alikhan Temporarily blocked just a few minutes before getting into force on Tuesday afternoon – he said that programs akin to Medicaid and Snap can be excluded, in addition to funds for small corporations, farmers, Pell grants, head start and assistance.
“The guidelines establish a process for agencies to cooperate with OMB in order to quickly determine whether any program is not in accordance with the president’s executive orders. The detention may be as short as one day,” we read in the order.
Politicians from everywhere in the country also query order, noting that repercussions can be very respected for thousands and thousands of Americans, despite the indisputable fact that the White House doesn’t understand its scale.
Dollars trillions are pouring into healthcare and stopping poverty, education, help in the case of disasters, housing, infrastructure and other initiatives that affect every corner of virtually every lifetime of America.
The National Council Non -Profit, American Public Health Association, Main Street Alliance for Small Business and LGBTQ Advocacy Sage have also filed a lawsuit against OMB and asked the Federal Court in DC to issue a brief order to stop and preliminary order to ban agencies.
“From stopping research on medicine for childhood cancer to stopping food, safety from home violence and closing suicides, the impact of even a short break on financing may be destructive he said in a statement. “An order may be over 1000’s of organizations and leave their neighbors without vital services.”
