Case Overview
A coalition of farms and non-profits focused on the environment sued the Trump administration over the freeze of funds from the USDA appropriated in the Inflation Reduction Act.
The Application
History
Plaintiffs contend the USDA funding freeze violates both statutes because Congress specifically appropriated these IRA funds for designated environmental and agricultural programs, and no statute authorizes executive withholding. The government likely asserts either inherent executive authority or a statutory basis that plaintiffs challenge.
The Conclusion
The case remains pending before Judge Rudolph Contreras in the D.C. District Court with no final judgment rendered.
