CNN- Twenty-four states and Washington, DC, filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration yesterday for cutting AmeriCorps’ workforce and terminating nearly $400 million in grant funding
for state and community projects. According to the lawsuit, 85% of
AmeriCorps' staff were placed on administrative leave earlier this month
as part of the Department of Government Efficiency’s cost-cutting
efforts. The multi-state coalition claims such cuts are gutting the
agency to the point where it cannot function. “The Administration is
free to ask Congress to abolish AmeriCorps, but it cannot simply
terminate the agency’s functions by fiat or defund the agency in
defiance of administrative procedures, Congressional appropriations, and
the Constitutional separation of powers,” the states claimed in the
lawsuit.
