MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Wisconsin is joining a lawsuit against the Trump administration over new conditions tied to U.S. Department of Agriculture funding.
Attorney General Josh Kaul is leading the suit alongside AGs from California, Illinois and Massachusetts. The suit claims the USDA is unlawfully requiring states to agree to new rules related to immigration, diversity, and gender identity.
The attorneys general say those conditions are unrelated to the funding itself. Kaul says the changes put billions of dollars at risk, including money for SNAP, WIC, school lunches, and food assistance programs serving hundreds of thousands of Wisconsinites.
