Filed Date: May 15, 2025

This case challenges the alleged illegal termination of grant money for state and jurisdictional humanities councils by the United States DOGE Service.

Filed Date: May 28, 2025

Closed Date: Aug. 25, 2025

This case challenges two actions by the Trump Administration’s National Science Foundation (NSF) that sixteen states argue will severely undermine the United States’ leadership in STEM.

The case was assigned to U.S. Di…

Filed Date: May 12, 2025

This case challenged the Trump Administration's April 2025 termination of over 1,400 grants funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). The scholar plaintiffs had each received an NEH grant to fund their humanities projects, only for their grants to be terminated without notice by the Trump Administration. The grants, due to be disbursed in May 2025, had been awarded in 2024 under the Biden Administration. NEH grants are very competitive and bestow a high level of prestige on the…
