Nonprofits, health workers, small business owners, and six state attorneys general are suing the Trump administration to prevent a freeze on federal loans and grants. The freeze, set to take effect Tuesday, is being criticized for its potential to disrupt vital programs and services for millions of Americans.
A group of nonprofits, health workers, and small business owners have asked a federal judge in Washington, DC, to immediately halt the Trump administration's freeze on federal loans and grants before it takes effect at 5 p.m. Tuesday.Separately, the attorneys general of six states — New York, California, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Rhode Island — say they will also sue to stop the freeze.
A lawsuit filed by the National Council of Nonprofits, the American Public Health Association, the Main Street Alliance, and SAGE, said the freeze order was 'devoid of any legal basis' and would harm hundreds of thousands of grant recipients who depend on federal grants, the lawsuit, which was filed hours before the freeze was scheduled to take effect.Trump's freeze order was first revealed by multiple publications late Monday.
