A group of conservation organizations filed a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's freeze on funding from the Congressionally-approved Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). The freeze was ordered through President Trump’s “Unleashing American Energy” executive order and implemented by the Office of Management and Budget, Environmental Protection Agency, and the Departments of Agriculture, Energy, and the Interior. Plaintiffs argue that the administration's decision to suspend billions in funding is an arbitrary and capricious decision that violates the Administrative Procedure Act.
