Wisconsin is one of more than 20 states that are filing lawsuits over President Trump’s federal funding freeze.
Governor Tony Evers and Attorney General Josh Kaul announced litigation yesterday which is aimed at preventing Trump’s policy from being implemented. The president has ordered a spending freeze on many grants and aid packages being paid out to states and nonprofit groups. This does not include direct payments that support individuals, like Social Security, Medicare, SNAP benefits, and rental assistance, according to a White House spokesperson. A federal judge has temporarily blocked the freeze, at least through this coming Monday.
