LINCOLN - Over the last four years, the Nebraska Attorney General's Office has repeatedly taken on the Biden administration in court.

Nebraska led the charge to overturn a federal student loan forgiveness plan, fighting the plan all the way to victory in the U.S. Supreme Court.

It fought federal regulations on bump stocks and "ghost gun" assembly kits, joined a lawsuit against new Title IX rules protecting the rights of transgender students, sued to block minimum wage requirements for federal contractors and supported Texas in its battle with the federal government over floating border barriers.

Attorney General Mike Hilgers said his office undertook those cases as part of his campaign promise to "fight federal overreach" and "protect Nebraskans against those who would violate the Constitution." However, state Sen. Danielle Conrad of Lincoln questioned whether the cases and costs are justified.
