The gathering doubled down on sessions to build state-level political power amid what leaders called federal attacks on social welfare, civil rights, and the rule of law. The case ignited a fight over politicization, with the administration insisting impartiality and critics citing retribution, even as legal experts questioned the rarity and merits of such mortgage cases.
