Wisconsin joins 23 states in lawsuit against Trump Administration over AmeriCorps cuts

On Tuesday, Attorney General Josh Kaul as part of a multistate coalition, filed a lawsuit challenging the Trump Administration’s dismantling of AmeriCorps. In the complaint the coalition argues that by abruptly canceling critical grants and gutting AmeriCorps’ workforce, the Trump Administration is effectively shuttering the national volunteer agency and ending states’ abilities to support AmeriCorps programs within their borders. The coalition establishes that the Trump Administration has acted unlawfully in its gutting of AmeriCorps, violating both the Administrative Procedures Act and the separation of powers under the U.S. Constitution.
