Denver joins lawsuit against Trump administration over revoked federal funding

  • In 2025, the City and County of Denver initiated legal action challenging the Trump administration's decision to revoke federal grant funding designated for migrant support.
  • The suit alleges the Department of Homeland Security unlawfully terminated $24 million in reimbursements under the Shelter and Services Program, bypassing Congress's exclusive funding authority.
  • Denver, which sheltered around 43,000 migrants since late 2022 and spent $91 million on services, joined Chicago and Pima County in challenging the funding cut amid accusations of illegal federal actions.
  • Denver Mayor Mike Johnston criticized the Trump administration for unfairly targeting cities that fulfilled responsibilities the federal government did not, emphasizing that the lawsuit aims to secure the $24 million in funding Denver was awarded but has yet to receive.
  • The case highlights tensions over immigration funding, with jurisdictions asserting the rescission violates the Administrative Procedure Act and undermines Congress's appropriation powers.
