Attorney General Kris Mayes didn't mince words following a decisive action by the U.S. District Court in Rhode Island. The court slammed the door on the Trump administration's attempt to withhold a massive $3 trillion in federal funding, demanding its immediate restoration. Mayes was quick to champion this result, expressing that the administration's persistent defiance of court orders would be met with relentless accountability. "We have won every single court order issued so far in our cases against the Trump administration. I will not stop holding the administration accountable until it starts complying with the rule of law," Mayes stated, ensuring that Arizonans directly benefit from the renewed flow of federal dollars, vital to public safety, health care, and low-income support networks, as per State of Arizona Attorney General.
Despite Trump's administration continued efforts to pinch pennies, putting countless state programs on ice, the recent motion to enforce filed by Mayes and aligned attorneys general has started to melt the blockade. Facing this backlash, the administration now has to loosen its grip on funds spanning from the Inflation Reduction Act to the Infrastructure, Investment, and Jobs Act, down to resources allocated for the National Institutes of Health. With Arizona nonprofits and governmental entities hanging in the balance, Mayes urged them to reach out if the freeze hasn't thawed, "Any Arizona nonprofits or government entities who continue to see funding frozen should alert our office," as reported by State of Arizona Attorney General.
