State of Rhode Island Attorney General Peter F. Neronha

Financial Crimes Enforcement

On October 27, 2026, a coalition of 21 attorneys general filed a lawsuit in Oregon to stop the Trump Administration from gutting the Corporate Transparency Act, which helps police and prosecutors catch money launderers, fraudsters, and tax cheats. We allege that the Administration's actions violate the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), the Separation of Powers, and Take Care Clause of the U.S. Constitution.
