NMDOJ Challenges Federal Fund Freeze

January 28, 2025

In response to the Trump Administration’s order to freeze federal funds to programs administered by the states, the New Mexico Department of Justice (NMDOJ) has joined a coalition of 22 states challenging the order and has filed a temporary restraining order seeking to immediately restore funding for critical services.

While the coalition’s broader legal challenge proceeds, the NMDOJ is gathering information from programs affected by the federal funding freeze. If your program is unable to access funding or is facing other disruption due to the freeze, please complete the form linked here.
