A federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration must restore significant AmeriCorps funding affecting service workers across various states. U.S. District Judge Deborah L. Boardman granted an injunction against the cancellation of grants and the early discharge of corps members following a lawsuit by Democratic state officials. While the grants totaling $557 million are reinstated temporarily, the court did permit the agency to reduce its workforce. This legal decision acknowledges the importance of volunteer service but also reflects ongoing political disputes regarding federal funding and administrative actions.
"U.S. District Judge Deborah L. Boardman granted a temporary block on the agency's cancellation of grants and early discharge of corps members, but only for the states that sued the administration in April."
"Boardman also said all AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps members that were discharged from their service terms early should be reinstated, if they are willing and able to return."
