Attorney General Peter Neronha has released a statement after a Rhode Island court granted a preliminary injunction to stop the dismantling of three federal agencies that provide services and funding for public libraries and museums, workers and small businesses.
The ruling comes after Neronha and a coalition of 20 other attorneys general filed a lawsuit to stop the Trump administration's moves.
He says this is an example of attorneys general across the country taking swift, aggressive action in the face of unlawful federal behavior, and the courts ultimately upholding the rule of law.
