A nationwide group of 17 state domestic violence and sexual assault coalitions filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for conditioning federal funding on adherence to certain political and ideological positions related to transgender rights, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), and immigration policy. The plaintiffs argued that these conditions violated the statutory requirements of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), the Administrative Procedure Act, the Spending Clause, the Separation of Powers doctrine, and the First and Fifth Amendments.
