Violence Against Women Act Grants Challenge
17 anti-domestic violence coalitions challenged DOJ requirements that Violence Against Women Act grantees certify they do not promote 'gender ideology,' run DEI programs or prioritize undocumented immigrants. Judge Smith granted preliminary injunction based on violation of APA prohibition against 'arbitrary and capricious agency action.'
Rhode Island et al. v. HHS — Transgender Funding Conditions
12 state attorneys general challenged $300+ billion in HHS grants conditioned on binary sex definitions, effectively barring funding for transgender health services. Three prior injunctions from other courts have been ignored by HHS. Rhode Island AG leads the coalition.
