Courts Block Trump’s Climate Grant Cuts | Baton Rouge News

Two federal courts this week blocked the Trump administration’s attempts to slash billions in clean energy and climate grants, ruling that once funds are awarded — especially to frontline communities hit hardest by pollution — they can’t be unilaterally revoked. One court stopped the EPA from canceling $20 billion in grants to nonprofits, while another ordered the return of $1.6 billion in climate justice funds, which the administration tried to halt. The EPA is now racing to appeal both decisions — one to the Supreme Court with a week to act, and the other seeking a pause from the judge while it appeals elsewhere, citing staffing and budget concerns. Courts are making clear: these grants aren’t up for grabs — they’re part of a fairer, healthier future for millions.
