“The Trump administration’s decision to invoke a highly questionable regulation for terminating funds based on their changed ‘agency priorities’ is unlawful,” Colorado Attorney General Weiser said in a statement. “We are challenging this action because Colorado and other states accept hundreds of billions of dollars a year to combat violent crime, educate students, protect clean drinking water, conduct lifesaving medical and scientific research, and safeguard public health. All these priorities are at risk of funding cuts based on the misuse of this regulation.”

The lawsuit argues the Trump administration has used the clause for the basis of a “slash-and-burn campaign” to cut federal grants.

“Defendants have terminated thousands of grant awards made to Plaintiffs, pulling the rug out from under the States, and taking away critical federal funding on which States and their residents rely for essential programs,” the lawsuit added.
