About two dozen states sued the Trump administration Tuesday over the dismantling of AmeriCorps, the 30-year-old federal agency for volunteer service, and over the cancellation of hundreds of millions of dollars in grant funding for state and community projects across the U.

The suit alleges that DOGE acted unlawfully by bypassing Congress to dismantle AmeriCorps, a federal community service program that provides support for disaster relief and anti-poverty project.

The national community service agency supports more than 200,000 volunteers across the country but has been decimated by the president's cuts.
