Federal courts around the country have been divided on whether he has properly used the law. <\/p>\n<p>    Latest action: Oral argument, Jan. 22<\/p>\n<p>January 22 <\/p>\n<p> W.M.M. v. Trump  <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-plain-text desc\">This case is expected to be the decisive legal battle over the Alien Enemies Act, an 18th century wartime law used by Mr. Trump to deport immigrants he has accused of belonging to a violent Venezuelan street gang. The Supreme Court has already made a preliminary ruling that the immigrants did not receive sufficient notice of their deportations, but has not ruled on the overall legality of Mr. Trump\u2019s proclamation. A three-judge panel for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has rejected the administration\u2019s claim that Venezuelans in the U.S. amounted to an \u201cinvasion,\u201d and the case will now be considered by the full court in an \u201cen banc\u201d rehearing. <\/p>\n<p>Orig. filed April 16, 2025<\/p>\n<p>\/<\/p>\n<p>Active<\/p>\n<p>Appealed<\/p>\n<p>Supreme Court action<\/p>\n<p>Orig. filed May 21, 2025<\/p>\n<p>\/<\/p>\n<p>Active, policy halted<\/p>\n<p>Appealed<\/p>\n<p>Orig. filed May 17, 2025<\/p>\n<p>\/<\/p>\n<p>Active, policy halted<\/p>\n<p>Appealed<\/p>\n<p>Orig. filed May 10, 2025<\/p>\n<p>\/<\/p>\n<p>Plaintiff won<\/p>\n<p>Appealed<\/p>\n<p>Orig. filed May 5, 2025<\/p>\n<p>\/<\/p>\n<p>Active<\/p>\n<p>                    + Show all 14 cases   Birthright citizenship <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text desc s-BKgJCsuAs_Ng\">On his first day back in office, Mr. Trump signed an executive order to stop treating as U.S. citizens any children born in the United States after a certain date whose parents are undocumented or who are in the country legally but temporarily.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text desc s-BKgJCsuAs_Ng\">The Supreme Court has not ruled on the adminstration\u2019s directive, but it did decide in June that several district court judges had exceeded their authority in blocking the policy across the country. A new lawsuit filed by the A.C.L.U. is now challenging the policy. <\/p>\n<p>    Latest action: Appealed, Oct. 7, 2025<\/p>\n<p>October 7, 2025 <\/p>\n<p> CASA v.

The Supreme Court has not yet ruled on the order\u2019s constitutionality, but it did limit the authority of lower-court judges to block executive branch policies nationwide. The district-court judge then certified this case as a class-action suit and again blocked the new policy. The case is now on hold as it awaits a Supreme Court ruling on the constitutionality of Mr. Trump\u2019s order from another case, Barbara v.

The administration\u2019s action resulted in a series of events that included a dramatic confrontation among agency staff, DOGE representatives, private security and law enforcement authorities. A federal judge ordered the reinstatement of officials ejected by the White House, but an appeals court stayed the order, yielding control of the institute back to Mr. Trump while the case proceeded. <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/05\/19\/us\/politics\/institute-of-peace-trump.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read more\u00a0\u203a<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Orig. filed March 18, 2025<\/p>\n<p>\/<\/p>\n<p>Plaintiff won<\/p>\n<p>Appealed<\/p>\n<p>Orig. filed July 28, 2025<\/p>\n<p>\/<\/p>\n<p>Active<\/p>\n<p>              California v.

Several federal judges have said that Mr. Trump did not have the power to fire the officials in question. The Supreme Court has sided with the president in some cases, but has not yet ruled on a lawsuit brought by Lisa Cook, who has continued to sit on the Fed\u2019s Board of Governors. <\/p>\n<p>    Latest action: On hold, Oct. 8, 2025<\/p>\n<p>October 8, 2025 <\/p>\n<p> Boyle v.

A federal law allows them to be terminated for only \u201cneglect of duty or malfeasance,\u201d but the president gave no reasons for the firings. A federal judge initially reinstated the commission members, but in July 2025 the Supreme Court released an order allowing Mr. Trump to enforce the firing. An appeals court put the case on hold in anticipation of the Supreme Court ruling on Slaughter v.

The move challenged longstanding legal precedent that members of the F.T.C. could be fired for only a narrow set of reasons. A federal court ruled that Mr. Trump\u2019s firing of Slaughter was illegal. Bedoya\u2019s claim was dismissed in July after he resigned from the commission in June. That September, the Supreme Court stayed the lower court&#8217;s ruling, removing Slaughter from her role temporarily until the case could be argued in front of the Supreme Court before the end of 2025. <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/09\/04\/us\/politics\/trump-ftc-slaughter-supreme-court.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read more\u00a0\u203a<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Orig. filed March 27, 2025<\/p>\n<p>\/<\/p>\n<p>Plaintiff won<\/p>\n<p>Appealed<\/p>\n<p>Supreme Court action<\/p>\n<p>Supreme Court action pending<\/p>\n<p>          Latest action: Appellate ruling, Sept. 15, 2025<\/p>\n<p>September 15, 2025 <\/p>\n<p> Cook v.

The student, Rumeysa Ozturk, sued, saying the government had detained her in unconstitutional retaliation for protected speech. After Ms. Ozturk spent six weeks in detention, a judge ordered her to be released while her case continues. <\/p>\n<p>Orig. filed Aug. 21, 2025<\/p>\n<p>\/<\/p>\n<p>Active, policy halted<\/p>\n<p>           Latest action: Oral argument, Oct. 21, 2025<\/p>\n<p>October 21, 2025 <\/p>\n<p> Khalil v. Joyce  <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-plain-text desc\">The administration has been fighting in court to again detain and then deport Mahmoud Khalil \u2014 a legal permanent resident, Columbia University graduate, and prominent figure in the pro-Palestinian movement \u2014 after jailing him for months last year. The administration has claimed that Mr. Khalil\u2019s presence in the U.S. contributed to the spread of antisemitism, and later claimed he omitted key facts from his permanent residency application. Mr. Khalil\u2019s lawyers have denied the allegations of antisemitism and protested his detention as unconstitutional retaliation for free speech. He was released on bail in June 2025. In January, a three-judge panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit opened the possibility that he could be rearrested, but he remains free while that ruling is appealed. <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/06\/22\/nyregion\/mahmoud-khalil-interview-trump.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read more\u00a0\u203a<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Orig. filed March 19, 2025<\/p>\n<p>\/<\/p>\n<p>Active, policy halted<\/p>\n<p> President and Fellows of Harvard College v. Department of Homeland Security  <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-plain-text desc\">In May 2025, the Trump administration said it would halt Harvard University\u2019s ability to enroll international students, taking aim at a crucial funding source for the nation\u2019s oldest and wealthiest college. The move was a major escalation of the administration\u2019s efforts to pressure the school to fall in line with the president\u2019s agenda. Less than 24 hours later, the university sued the administration, accusing it of a \u201ccampaign of retribution.\u201d That June, a federal judge in Boston sided with Harvard and blocked a Trump administration effort to rescind the school\u2019s right to host international students. The administration has appealed the decision. <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/06\/27\/us\/trump-harvard-appeal.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read more\u00a0\u203a<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Orig. filed May 23, 2025<\/p>\n<p>\/<\/p>\n<p>Active, policy halted<\/p>\n<p>Appealed<\/p>\n<p>                                                                                                                     + Show all 112 cases   Tariffs <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text desc s-BKgJCsuAs_Ng\">State officials, small businesses and political groups have sued the Trump administration over its tariff policy, contending that the president does not have the authority to impose tariffs on foreign goods without congressional approval. <\/p>\n<p>    Latest action: SCOTUS pending, Sept. 10, 2025<\/p>\n<p>September 10, 2025 <\/p>\n<p> V.O.S. Selections v. Trump  <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-plain-text desc\">A majority of Supreme Court justices sounded skeptical during November oral arguments over the legality of tariffs that Mr. Trump has sought to impose on more than 100 countries using a 1977 emergency law. The administration\u2019s tariff capability remains in place for now. If the justices agree with the lower courts and strike it down, that would release billions of dollars in refunds as well as the likelihood of further litigation, should the administration use a new statute, or statutes, to claim unilateral tariff powers. <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/08\/29\/business\/economy\/trump-tariffs-appeals-court.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read more\u00a0\u203a<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Orig. filed April 14, 2025<\/p>\n<p>\/<\/p>\n<p>Plaintiff won<\/p>\n<p>Appealed<\/p>\n<p>Orig. filed Dec. 23, 2025<\/p>\n<p>\/<\/p>\n<p>Active<\/p>\n<p>Orig. filed Dec. 22, 2025<\/p>\n<p>\/<\/p>\n<p>Active<\/p>\n<p>Orig. filed Dec. 22, 2025<\/p>\n<p>\/<\/p>\n<p>Active<\/p>\n<p>Orig. filed Dec. 21, 2025<\/p>\n<p>\/<\/p>\n<p>Active<\/p>\n<p>                                                                          + Show all 68 cases   Trans rights <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text desc s-BKgJCsuAs_Ng\">Several lawsuits challenge the Trump administration\u2019s moves to prohibit recognizing transgender people according to their gender identity. Cases have included placing transgender women who are federal prisoners in men\u2019s housing and witholding federal funding from hospitals that offer gender-related treatment to patients younger than 19. <\/p>\n<p>    Latest action: Preliminary injunction, Nov. 17, 2025<\/p>\n<p>November 17, 2025 <\/p>\n<p> Doe v. Bondi  <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-plain-text desc\">Mr. Trump issued an executive order requiring the Bureau of Prisons to house transgender women with male inmates and stop medical treatment related to gender transitions. Three transgender women in prison sued, saying they had a right to essential medical care and to be kept safe while incarcerated. A judge temporarily blocked the order, and the Trump administration has appealed the case. <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/04\/us\/trans-women-prisons-executive-order-ruling.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read more\u00a0\u203a<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Orig. filed Jan. 30, 2025<\/p>\n<p>\/<\/p>\n<p>Active, policy halted<\/p>\n<p>Appealed<\/p>\n<p>          Latest action: Appealed, March 24, 2025<\/p>\n<p>March 24, 2025 <\/p>\n<p> PFLAG v.

A judge temporarily ordered the administration to continue federal funding for hospitals that offer transition care for people under the age of 19, a decision the Trump administration has appealed. <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/13\/us\/trump-trans-youth-health-providers.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read more\u00a0\u203a<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Orig. filed Feb. 4, 2025<\/p>\n<p>\/<\/p>\n<p>Active, policy halted<\/p>\n<p>Appealed<\/p>\n<p>Orig. filed Dec. 23, 2025<\/p>\n<p>\/<\/p>\n<p>Active<\/p>\n<p>Orig. filed Dec. 22, 2025<\/p>\n<p>\/<\/p>\n<p>Active<\/p>\n<p>Orig. filed Nov. 20, 2025<\/p>\n<p>\/<\/p>\n<p>Active<\/p>\n<p>                                + Show all 26 cases   Other suits <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text desc s-BKgJCsuAs_Ng\">Dozens of other suits have been filed against the Trump administration. They are about issues like the government\u2019s attempt to block New York City\u2019s congestion pricing program, a law that would have prevented some Planned Parenthood clinics from receiving Medicaid reimbursements and the removal of books about race and gender from Department of Defense schools. <\/p>\n<p>    Latest action: Supreme Court ruling, Dec. 23, 2025<\/p>\n<p>December 23, 2025 <\/p>\n<p> Illinois v. Trump  <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-plain-text desc\">A block on Mr. Trump\u2019s attempt to deploy the National Guard in Illinois over the objections of state and local officials remains in place after the Supreme Court rejected the administration\u2019s arguments that the deployment was legal. The Supreme Court\u2019s ruling was on the emergency docket, so the issue could be considered again on the court\u2019s merits docket. Mr. Trump has said he might invoke the Insurrection Act, which would potentially offer a separate legal basis for Guard deployments, and touch off more lawsuits. <\/p>\n<p>Orig. filed Oct. 6, 2025<\/p>\n<p>\/<\/p>\n<p>Active, policy halted<\/p>\n<p>Supreme Court action<\/p>\n<p>          Latest action: Preliminary injunction, Dec. 10, 2025<\/p>\n<p>December 10, 2025 <\/p>\n<p> Newsom v. Trump  <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-plain-text desc\">After the Trump administration deployed National Guard troops in Los Angeles to respond to protests, a federal judge ruled that the Trump administration had illegally taken control of the state\u2019s troops. He ordered them to return to taking orders from Gov. Gavin Newsom of California. An appeals court subsequently stayed that decision, which means the National Guard forces will stay subject to Mr. Trump\u2019s control for now. <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/06\/13\/us\/trumps-national-guard-court-rulings.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read more\u00a0\u203a<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Orig. filed June 9, 2025<\/p>\n<p>\/<\/p>\n<p>Active, policy halted<\/p>\n<p>Appealed<\/p>\n<p>Orig. filed Jan. 22<\/p>\n<p>\/<\/p>\n<p>Active<\/p>\n<p>Orig. filed Jan. 11<\/p>\n<p>\/<\/p>\n<p>Active<\/p>\n<p>Orig. filed Dec. 22, 2025<\/p>\n<p>\/<\/p>\n<p>Active<\/p>\n<p>                                                                                                      + Show all 96 cases <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Access to federal property The White House has used its power over access to federal property to single&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":119142,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[18077,52336,1452,36019,17074,36018,9,11,10,17076,24434,11771,1069],"class_list":{"0":"post-119141","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-18077","9":"tag-citizenship-and-naturalization","10":"tag-donald-j","11":"tag-elon","12":"tag-federal-courts-us","13":"tag-musk","14":"tag-new-york","15":"tag-new-york-headlines","16":"tag-new-york-news","17":"tag-presidential-power-us","18":"tag-storming-of-the-us-capitol-jan","19":"tag-suits-and-litigation-civil","20":"tag-trump"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119141","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119141"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119141\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/119142"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119141"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119141"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119141"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
