Nessel, Democratic AGs look back on Trump lawsuits

Michigan has gotten involved in over 40 lawsuits, including ones to protect birth right citizenship and restore federal funding after attempted pauses.
 
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel estimates the lawsuits have brought over $2 billion back to Michigan.
 
She says families in need of childcare, doctors treating Medicaid patients, and older adults using food programs would have all suffered without that money.
 
These are harms we prevented from fast, organized action. And we will continue to fight against these actions and protect our residents and to help keep them whole.
 
The Trump administration has said the funding pauses were necessary to root out what it describes as government waste.
 
Courts have paused most of the contested actions while the cases play out.
