The Board of Education for Silver Consolidated Schools filed a suit against the Trump administration for revoking a $6 million grant awarded under the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. They argue the termination, which followed the Department’s Dear Colleague Letter, violated multiple constitutional and statutory protections. Specifically, plaintiffs allege infringements of their First Amendment right to free speech and their Fifth Amendment right to due process. They also argue that the administration violated the Administrative Procedure Act and had arbitrary and capricious conduct.
