New York City is joining Seattle, Washington, and Portland, Oregon, in suing the Trump administration over its decision to place the three cities on a list of “anarchist jurisdictions” that could have their federal funding withheld.
Mayor Bill de Blasio said during an Oct. 22 press briefing that the complaint would be filed later that day in Seattle, blaming President Donald Trump for undermining the cities’ efforts to help their residents hit by hardships related to the pandemic.
