Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro has filed a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s funding freeze, accusing several federal agencies and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) of unlawfully withholding more than $1.2 billion in federal funding owed to Pennsylvania agencies, with billions more at risk.
The lawsuit, filed on Feb. 13 at the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, alleges that the agencies’ actions violate the U.S. Constitution and the Administrative Procedure Act by exceeding the agencies’ legal authority and failing to comply with multiple court orders directing them to restore access to the frozen funds.
