Attorneys General Sue Trump Administration Over Metal Health Funding

“These mental health programs were established by Congress following a wave of tragic and unacceptable school shootings, and they do critical work to ensure students can not only succeed but thrive,” Bonta said in a 2025 statement announcing the original lawsuit. “The loss of this funding would cause immense harm to California students, especially in our low-income and rural communities. The California Department of Justice will not stand idly by—we’re once again taking the Trump Administration to court, this time to protect the mental health and well-being of our students.”
