Attorney General Letitia James is leading a multi-state charge to block what she calls an “illegal attempt to play politics” with life-saving federal funds for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.
On Friday, James joined a coalition of 21 attorneys general in filing an amicus brief in the U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island, arguing that new Trump-era conditions on Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) funding jeopardize critical services and violate federal law.
