Case Overview

The government appealed Judge McConnell's preliminary injunction which requires that the Trump administration reverse the steps taken to dismantle the multiple executive agencies.

The Application

History

Judge McConnell found Rhode Island likely to succeed on the merits by demonstrating the funding freeze and agency dismantling lacked statutory basis. The court identified irreparable harm from loss of federal benefits and constitutional injury, with the public interest favoring maintenance of statutory agencies during litigation.

The Conclusion

Decided (First Circuit, Case No. 25-1477). The lower court's preliminary injunction requiring the administration to reverse agency-dismantling steps was appealed and the First Circuit rendered its decision.
