A federal judge, appointed by President Obama, has mandated that the Trump administration restore funding to AmeriCorps programs across 24 states and Washington, D.C. This ruling comes after a lawsuit contended that the agency's funding cuts made in April were illegal without proper notice and comment. Although the ruling reinstates funding, it does not bring back agency staff affected by the cuts. AmeriCorps volunteers were crucial to many college-access organizations, which faced staff layoffs due to funding losses. This case is part of growing judicial pushback against federal budget cuts.
A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to restore funding to AmeriCorps programs in 24 states and Washington, D.C., following a lawsuit challenging the cuts.
Judge Deborah Boardman ruled that the states are likely to succeed in their argument that funding cuts could not legally proceed without notice.
