Cristosal Human Rights v. Marocco

The rule's application to these facts hinges on whether the administration's firing of IAF leadership and operational shutdown constitutes a prohibited dissolution of a congressionally created agency, or permissible executive management of personnel and operations. The plaintiffs argue that Congress alone may abolish the IAF that firing its board and halting operations achieves substantive dissolution without the statutory authority the rule requires while the government likely contends these are discrete personnel and operational decisions within executive authority. The court must determine whether the cumulative effect of removing leadership and ceasing operations crosses into impermissible agency abolition, and whether the plaintiffs' injury as IAF grantees provides them standing to challenge the administration's actions.
