Some prosecutors will need to be trained more vigorously, she said, adding that the office needs to be reorganized so that attorneys can begin charging the backlog of cases in Alameda County.

In announcing the suit, they said Trump’s move threatens funding covering disaster relief, law enforcement grants, infrastructure projects, nutrition assistance, child care and more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We will not stand by while the president attempts to disrupt vital programs that feed our kids, provide medical care to our families and support housing in our communities. We won’t stand by while the president breaks the law and oversteps his authority,” Bonta said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is reckless. It is dangerous, unprecedented in scope and devastating in its attendant effect. It’s thrown state programs into chaos and created confusion among our residents,” he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration insisted that the order is simply aimed at ensuring that federal spending aligns with the new president’s priorities and is not going to what White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt called “illegal DEI programs … transgenderism and wokeness across our federal bureaucracy and agencies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12024194 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/SacramentoDelta-17_qed-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not a blanket pause on federal assistance and grant programs from the Trump administration. Individual assistance that includes — I’m not naming everything that’s included, but just to give you a few examples: Social Security benefits, Medicare benefits, food stamps, welfare benefits, assistance that is going directly to individuals will not be impacted by this pause,” Leavitt said at a briefing Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the Trump administration blamed the media for confusion over what funding the directive will affect, Bonta said he believes the ambiguity in the memo was intentional — both to test the bounds of the law and to confuse and scare federal officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s very broad, and it’s very expansive. It’s very ambiguous and imprecise,” he said. “They could have enumerated with great precision everything that it included and everything that it didn’t. Instead, they wanted to play politics, and they used a bunch of buzzwords that mean different things to different people. Like what’s wokeism?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonta said that if the directive is allowed to stand, it could result in states facing immediate cash shortfalls — something that could have particularly “devastating” impacts in California, where the state is working to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12024151/trump-and-newsom-embrace-in-fire-ravaged-la-but-the-president-wants-to-tie-federal-aid-to-voter-id\">respond to the recent Los Angeles wildfires\u003c/a>. Bonta said he believes the state’s FEMA funding would be at risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other Democratic lawmakers also reacted in anger. California Sen. Alex Padilla called on Republican senators to halt the confirmation process of the man tapped to lead the Office of Management and Budget, Russell Vought, until Trump “reverses this reckless order.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Donald Trump is illegally blocking hundreds of billions of dollars for essential federal programs … all in his effort to pay for his tax cuts for large corporations and billionaires, like the ones he surrounded himself with during his inauguration,” Padilla said. “This overreach is unconstitutional and hurts the thousands of Californians who have been devastated by the recent fires. When Congress approves federal funds for programs to help communities, they are not optional; they are legal mandates.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",
