The Trump administration is now facing a bevy of federal lawsuits over its effort to claw back about $810 million in federal funding without Congress’ approval.
The administration announced the cancellation last week, through a maneuver known as a “pocket rescission,” days before the funding expired at the end of the fiscal year Wednesday. Now it faces federal lawsuits over the move from housing groups, education grant recipients and several states, arguing that the rescissions violate federal law and the Constitution.
