Case Overview

The Urban Sustainability Directors Network sued the Trump administration over the mass termination of federal grants by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.


The Application

History

The plaintiffs challenge the USDA's mass grant terminations as exceeding statutory authority and violating APA procedural requirements. The court must examine whether the grants constituted binding obligations, whether applicable statutes authorized such broad cancellations, and whether the agency provided required notice and opportunity for comment.

The Conclusion

The case remains active in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia before Judge Beryl A. Howell, with merits briefing ongoing as the court evaluates the government's authority to terminate the disputed grants.
