New York City filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration on Feb. 21 for rescinding $80.5 million in grants earmarked for the city’s cost of housing illegal immigrants.
The complaint, which was filed in Manhattan federal court, outlines why New York City rebuffed accusations by federal officials that it misappropriated funds, arguing that the funds were legally appropriated by Congress and that it was outside the authority of the president to seize them.
