Attorney General Condemns Federal Funding Freeze as an Attack on Connecticut Families


Connecticut Attorney General William Tong has strongly criticized the Trump administration’s order to pause the disbursement of federal loans and grants, calling it “unprecedented and blatantly lawless and unconstitutional.” The memo issued by the Office of Management and Budget directs federal agencies to temporarily halt all financial assistance activities to review programs and funding priorities.

Tong described the order as a devastating attack on Connecticut families and announced that attorneys general across the country are preparing legal action to protect their states. The pause, effective at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, may impact federal loan and grant programs, with exceptions granted on a case-by-case basis. The memo clarifies that Social Security, Medicare benefits, and direct assistance to individuals should not be affected.

Connecticut’s State Department of Education has also issued guidance to public school districts on immigration enforcement activities in light of the federal order. As the situation unfolds, Tong assured the public that his team will provide real-time updates on the state’s response to this challenging development.
