A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's rescission of nearly $800 million in grants for violence reduction and crime victim programs. While Judge Amit Mehta called the Justice Department's actions "shameful," he ruled the court lacked jurisdiction and the plaintiffs failed to demonstrate a constitutional violation. The Justice Department cancelled the grants in April, citing shifted priorities towards law enforcement operations and combating violent crime. The lawsuit, filed by several organizations, argued the terminations lacked due process and violated separation of powers. Despite the judge's disapproval, the grant rescission stands.
