Judge Orders AmeriCorps Grants Restored Nationwide

News summary

A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to restore hundreds of millions in AmeriCorps grant funding and reinstate thousands of service workers in roughly two dozen states after determining that the administration failed to follow required notice-and-comment procedures. The injunction blocks the cancellation of grants and early discharge of corps members in states that sued, including Washington, Maine, North Carolina, Vermont, California, and Pennsylvania. Judge Deborah L. Boardman's ruling mandates immediate reinstatement of affected programs and members but allows AmeriCorps to proceed with staff reductions, denying requests to reinstate most federal employees on administrative leave. The decision ensures the continuation of essential services for vulnerable populations, such as education and disaster response, while the legality of the cuts will be further examined in future court proceedings. State officials and community leaders praised the ruling for safeguarding critical community programs. The administration is expected to appeal.
