Arizona and nearly two dozen other states are taking the Trump administration to court over its decision to freeze more than $6.8 billion in public education funds, which they warn will cause schools across the country to lay off teachers and shut down critical programs.
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes lambasted the decision as unconstitutional and said it would spell disaster for the state.
“It is unlawful for President Trump to hold up this education funding and to wreak absolute havoc on our schools and on our students and families,” she said.
The Democrat has been fiercely critical of the Trump administration and mobilized her office to oppose its actions in court several times. This latest legal challenge is the 21st lawsuit the Grand Canyon State has joined against the federal government since January.
