Posted on February 1, 2025

(HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Ned Lamont released the following statement in response to the temporary restraining order [[link removed]] issued late Friday afternoon by a federal judge in Rhode Island prohibiting the White House from imposing a blanket freeze on federal funding that has been appropriated by Congress until the court rules on a motion for a preliminary injunction:

“This temporary court order is the right decision against an unprecedented, disorganized, and chaotic move to unilaterally cut off funding for healthcare, housing, road and bridge repairs, and so much more. I appreciate Attorney General Tong and the coalition of states that are fighting in court to ensure that the funds appropriated by Congress are delivered as intended under the law.”

The temporary restraining order was issued as part of the lawsuit filed by Connecticut Attorney General William Tong and a coalition of 22 other states.
