A lawsuit by a coalition co-led by Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha has unlocked about $29 million in frozen federal education money for the state.
Twenty-three Democratic attorneys general and two governors joined the suit after the Trump administration froze at the end of June almost $7 billion in funding for programs administered by the U.S. Department of Education.
Neronha announced Tuesday that the money will be released by Oct. 3 under an agreement with the White House.
“When we fight back against this administration, we win,” he said in a statement.
The case is one of many in which Neronha has joined with fellow state prosecutors from around the nation to challenge actions by the Trump administration.
