Kaul joins lawsuit against Trump Administration over unlawful conditions on federal funds

By Courtney Chaffee May 14, 2025 | 7:00 AM

A coalition of 20 state Democratic attorneys general, including Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul, filed two federal lawsuits on Tuesday, claiming that the Trump administration is threatening to withhold billions of dollars in transportation and disaster-relief funds unless state’s agree to certain immigration enforcement actions. According to the complaints, both Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy have threatened to cut off funding to states that refuse to comply with President Donald Trump’s immigration agenda. Both lawsuits say that the Trump administration is violating the U.S. Constitution by trying to dictate federal spending when Congress has that power — not the executive branch.
