Colorado entities, led by Attorney General Phil Weiser, have filed seven lawsuits against President Trump’s executive orders. One lawsuit challenges funding cuts to medical and public health research, with a federal judge issuing a temporary restraining order blocking the cuts. Another lawsuit challenges Trump’s federal worker buyout plan, which was allowed to move forward after a judge denied a request to halt it. Colorado also joined a lawsuit questioning Elon Musk’s access to Treasury data, resulting in a federal judge blocking DOGE from accessing sensitive records. Additionally, Colorado joined a legal battle seeking to block Trump’s freeze on $3 trillion in federal funding, arguing the money is critical for the state. A lawsuit opposing Trump’s executive order to end “birthright citizenship” is ongoing, while another lawsuit involves firearm safety measures implemented by the ATF. Furthermore, Colorado and other states have filed motions to defend access to Affordable Care Act insurance exchanges for DACA recipients. Denver Public Schools has also filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security to keep ICE officers off district campuses, following immigration raids in Aurora. Finally, Douglas County is suing the state over its sanctuary laws, with a district court judge ruling against the county, which plans to appeal.
