Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has taken legal action against President Donald Trump's administration by filing a lawsuit to unfreeze federal funds. This move places Pennsylvania among the 24 states and the District of Columbia challenging the alleged 'unconstitutional' freeze on federal funding imposed by the Trump administration.
The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued a directive on January 27 instructing agencies to halt federal funding. As a result, Pennsylvania state agencies have been unable to access $1.2 billion in federal funds, with an additional $900 million awaiting federal review, as stated in the lawsuit filed by Shapiro.
