Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

A coalition of 20 Democratic state attorneys general has filed two lawsuits against President Trump's administration, claiming it unlawfully threatens to withhold billions in federal transportation and emergency preparedness funding unless states comply with immigration enforcement measures. The lawsuits, led by California Attorney General Rob Bonta and New York Attorney General Letitia James, argue that these actions violate the U.S. Constitution by attempting to control federal spending.
