DENVER - Today, Governor Polis applauded Judge John J. McConnell Jr. of the U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island's decision to bar the Trump Administration from illegally withholding federal funding to States.

"The administration's actions blocked investments critical to the U.S. economy and halted important funding and services necessary for our way of life. I am glad to see our justice system protecting the American people and our rule of law. This court decision will ensure states have access to important funding for disaster relief, transportation, childcare and family support, veterans, and initiatives. In Colorado, we are committed to protecting freedoms, saving people money, and building a Colorado for all," said Governor Polis

Colorado joined a 22-state lawsuit to block the Trump Administration actions to withhold critical federal funding, and was successful in obtaining a Temporary Restraining Order on January 31, 2025 that temporarily blocked the administration's actions while litigation ensued. Today's decision to grant a Preliminary Injunction barring the federal funding freeze further protects obligations of the federal government to the states.
