US EditionDenver joins lawsuit against Trump administration over revoked federal funding
- The City and County of Denver, along with Chicago and Pima County, sued the Trump administration in 2025 over revoked federal funding for immigration assistance.
- The lawsuit arose after the Department of Homeland Security rescinded $24 million in reimbursements awarded under the Shelter and Services Program, despite Congress continuing the program in 2022.
- Denver had sheltered over 43,000 migrants since late 2022, spending $91 million on services and receiving only $8 million of the $32 million SSP grant awarded through FEMA.
- Mayor Mike Johnston criticized the Trump administration for unfairly targeting cities that took action where the federal government fell short, praising Denver residents for uniting to support those in need.
- The lawsuit argues the Trump administration’s actions are unconstitutional attempts to override Congress' authority and violate the Administrative Procedure Act, demanding the withheld funds be released.
