AG Nessel Secures Injunction Protecting Michigan’s Federal Transportation Funding

*LANSING* – Yesterday, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, along with a coalition of 19 attorneys general, secured a preliminary injunction (PDF) [ [link removed] ] blocking the Trump Administration from illegally coercing states into sweeping immigration enforcement by threatening to withhold billions in federal transportation funding. The coalition initially filed a lawsuit in May [ [link removed] ] after the administration imposed the new conditions requiring state agencies to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement efforts or risk losing crucial funds used to maintain and protect transportation infrastructure. 

“I am pleased the Court recognized the Trump Administration’s attempt to retroactively change the terms of already appropriated funding as unlawful,” Nessel said. “States cannot be coerced into federal immigration enforcement by threatening to withhold vital infrastructure dollars – funding that has nothing to do with immigration. With this injunction, Michigan can continue to develop, maintain, and ensure safety on our roads. I remain committed to protecting the resources that keep our state moving forward.” 

Joining Attorney General Nessel in securing this injunction are the attorneys general from California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaiʻi, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Washington, Wisconsin, and Vermont.
