Case Overview

The Personal Services Contractor Association appealed Judge Nichols order granting the Trump administration's motion to dismiss its suit challenging the freezing of foreign aid and actions taken to dismantle USAID.


The Application

History

The PSCA, as an association of government contractors, alleged concrete injury from the freezing of foreign aid and USAID operations; the lower court found the association lacked sufficient injury-in-fact or that the claims presented non-justiciable political questions regarding executive discretion over foreign aid.

The Conclusion

Judge Nichols granted the motion to dismiss; the PSCA appealed to the CADC, which is now reviewing whether the dismissal was proper and whether the association may proceed with its challenge.
