States Sue Over Grant Conditions | Portland News
Description
Oregon’s Attorney General Dan Rayfield is spearheading a bold 26-state legal challenge against federal overreach, targeting new conditions attached to critical emergency preparedness grants. These grants—worth nearly $10 million annually to Oregon alone—now require states to assist with immigration enforcement and share voter data with DHS, sparking a constitutional showdown. The lawsuit, filed in Rhode Island where Rayfield previously won a similar case, argues these mandates violate the Administrative Procedure Act and the Constitution’s Spending Clause, threatening billions in emergency funding. This coalition of states signals a united front against federal coercion, reigniting the debate over states’ rights and the limits of federal power.
