BIG NEWS: We just filed a lawsuit to stop the Trump administration’s latest effort to favor big business over working families. This new decision would take money away from Oregon homeowners and put it in the pockets of big banks, and we’re suing to stop it.

AG Rayfield sues to stop Trump administration’s lawless handout to big banks

We filed a new lawsuit to block the Trump administration’s latest effort to favor big business over working families. The case challenges a decision by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to invalidate an Oregon law that requires mortgage lenders to pay interest on the money they require borrowers to deposit into escrow accounts to cover taxes and insurance. The result would be to take money away from homeowners and put it into the pockets of big banks.

“Time and again, we’ve seen the Trump Administration hand out favors to insiders and corporate special interests at the expense of Oregonians. This is a case in point: the Administration wants to let big banks pad their profits with money that, by law, belongs to Oregon families.”

BREAKING NEWS: We just got a court order protecting USDA funding for programs like school lunches, emergency food assistance, WIC, SNAP, and more.

BREAKING NEWS: AG Rayfield secures court order protecting funding for food assistance, WIC, SNAP, and more

What happened: Today, a district court sided with our multistate coalition in our lawsuit to protect USDA funding for programs like school lunches, emergency food assistance, WIC, SNAP, and more. In March, we sued to stop the Trump administration from imposing new, vague funding conditions related to immigration, diversity, and gender identity – which are unrelated to the purpose of this USDA funding. The court issued a preliminary order halting the illegal terms while the case proceeds.

“This protects every Oregon family who depends on these programs to put food on the table. The court rejected the Trump administration’s attempt to hold school lunches, WIC, and SNAP hostage to its political agenda. These are lifelines for 86,000 Oregon kids, working families, seniors, and rural communities – and they will remain protected.”

Oregon DOJ attends White House Medicaid Fraud Roundtable, highlighting enforcement efforts and long track record of wins

Senior staff responded to a late Friday invitation from Vice President JD Vance to attend a Task Force on Fraud roundtable at the White House today. We attended with a clear message: Oregon fights Medicaid fraud because it’s the right thing to do for taxpayers and patients. Our results speak for themselves - fighting fraud should always be a bipartisan effort and something we can all agree on. Several Democratic-led states were either not invited or turned away at the door.

“Oregon has spent decades fighting Medicaid fraud and we have the record to prove it. In just the past decade, our Medicaid Fraud Control Unit has secured hundreds of criminal convictions. We will continue to hold anyone accountable who steals from Oregonians.”

In the last decade, Oregon's MFCU has obtained more than 200 criminal convictions, more than 80 civil settlements, and recovered over $85 million for taxpayers. Last year, MFCUs nationally returned nearly $4.64 for every dollar invested by state and federal governments – nearly $2 billion back to taxpayers.

BREAKING NEWS: AG Rayfield wins court ruling protecting $39m for stable housing in Oregon

What happened: AG Rayfield just protected about $39 million for programs in Oregon that help keep people housed and lower their risk of returning to homelessness. A federal appeals court rejected the federal government’s request to put harmful restrictions on this HUD Continuum of Care grant funding – a win for Oregonians trying to get back on their feet.

"Stable housing is the foundation everything else is built on – work, health, recovery, and family. The people this program serves fought their way out of homelessness. They were rebuilding their lives. HUD’s restrictions would have taken that away, and today’s ruling stopped that from happening."

AG Rayfield demands that Kroger repay Oregon taxpayers for failed grocery merger attempt

“When federal enforcers step back, states step up,” said Attorney General Rayfield. “Recovering attorneys’ fees is one way Oregon can sustain that work – making it clear to corporations that when they push deals that harm consumers, they will be held accountable, and Oregon taxpayers won’t be left to foot the bill.”

AG Rayfield is taking action to get back more than $2.25 million in legal fees from Kroger — so Oregon taxpayers don’t have to foot the bill. Oregon DOJ successfully blocked the proposed $25 billion Kroger/Albertsons merger, which would have raised grocery prices and lowered wages for working families. Because the court sided with us, Oregon is entitled to have Kroger cover our attorneys’ fees and costs.
