Twenty-four states and the District of Columbia sued AmeriCorps, its Interim Head, the Office of Management Budget, and its Director, challenging efforts to dismantle AmeriCorps. Plaintiffs allege that the government’s actions—including releasing AmeriCorps members and volunteers, placing staff on administrative leave, and canceling contracts and grants—were unlawful. They argue that the dismantling of AmeriCorps, an independent agency created by Congress, violated the Administrative Procedure Act and the constitutional separation of powers. They also argue that the defendants acted contrary to law, including by violating appropriations law and the Impoundment Control Act. Plaintiffs seek declaratory and injunctive relief, as well as a stay and vacatur of the administration's actions.
