COLORADO SPRINGS, CO — On April 29, Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser will address a local gathering at the First United Methodist Church in Colorado Springs, where he will discuss the judicial limits imposed on President Donald Trump’s recent and potential executive orders. The event, hosted by Indivisible Colorado Springs, is set to begin at 5:30 p.m., with doors opening at 4:30 p.m.
Weiser, who has been at the forefront of legal battles concerning federal policies, will speak about the significant role the courts play in restricting executive actions that may exceed legal boundaries. His appearance comes on the heels of his involvement in a pivotal case in early March, when he was part of a legal team that secured a federal court order compelling the Trump administration to release critical funds for emergency management.
In a statement following the ruling, Weiser expressed satisfaction with the court’s decision, emphasizing the importance of restoring vital federal funds that had been frozen by the Trump administration. “I’m pleased that the court agreed with us that the Trump administration’s orders freezing federal funds, which have caused chaos in Colorado and across the country, must be restored,” Weiser said. “Unilateral cuts to everything from lifesaving health care to resources for firefighters would be devastating for our state, and I will continue to do everything in my power to stop these reckless, illegal acts. As evidenced by this ruling, the law is on our side.”
The event will offer attendees the opportunity to hear firsthand from the Attorney General about his efforts to ensure the continuity of essential services in Colorado, particularly in the face of national executive decisions that could potentially undermine local and state resources.
Indivisible Colorado Springs, a grassroots political group, is facilitating the gathering as part of its ongoing efforts to engage the local community in discussions about legal and political actions that affect the state and nation. Those interested in attending the event are encouraged to arrive early, as space may be limited.
