A coalition of 20 states filed two lawsuits against the Trump administration Tuesday seeking to stop policies to withhold grants for transportation and homeland security in jurisdictions that do not cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta said Tuesday during a conference call with reporters that the Trump administration directives are a “blatantly illegal attempt to bully states into enacting Trump’s inhumane and illogical immigration agenda.”
“Taking away these funds could harm California’s ability to improve our roads, keep our planes in the air, prepare for emergencies and protect against terrorist attacks,” Bonta said. “It undermines our ability to uphold the safety of our communities.”
