Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania announced on Monday that $2.1 billion in federal funds had been unfrozen and restored to the state. This action came after Shapiro sued the Trump administration on Feb. 13, challenging the federal funding freeze along with 22 other states and the District of Columbia.
Shapiro's legal efforts resulted in the restoration of Pennsylvania's federal funding, which had been halted in compliance with President Trump's executive orders. Following direct engagement with senior members of the Trump administration, Shapiro was able to secure the release of the funds owed to Pennsylvania.
