Raoul and five other Democratic attorneys general claim the White House's freeze on federal assistance programs is unconstitutional.

Illinois Attorney General Raoul discusses how the Trump administration is impacting Illinois, including on immigration and a federal funding freeze.

The freeze on federal funding and grants has wide-ranging implications and impacts everything from funding for child care, university research and roads and bridges.

Illinois lawmakers are taking action against the Trump administration's federal funding freeze. And Tuesday afternoon, a federal judge temporarily blocked the order. Lawmakers in Illinois and across the U.S are speaking out against the federal order, calling it illegal and unconstitutional.

Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul on Tuesday said the Trump administration's move to freeze funding for federal assistance programs is an unconstitutional violation of the separation of powers between the White House and Congress.
