Summary

A group of nonprofits and academic institutions have sued the Trump administration for dismantling the Inter-American Foundation (IAF), a federal agency that focuses on community-driven development across Latin America and the Caribbean. The administration has cancelled contracts and grants and placed all employees on administrative leave. The plaintiffs argue that this attempt to dismantle IAF violates the separation of powers and the Administrative Procedure Act.
