The American Library Association (ALA) and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) brought suit to challenge the Trump administration's dismantling of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), a non-partisan and independent agency supporting and funding museums and libraries. The plaintiffs argue that cutting congressionally-funded programs at IMLS violates the Administrative Procedure Act, the separation of powers, the Take Care Clause of the Constitution, and the First Amendment.
