Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher Challenge Trump Administration’s Termination of Immigrant Program Funding in Federal Court

On Monday, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, on behalf of immigration advocates, pursued legal action against the Trump administration, filing for a preliminary injunction. The lawsuit challenges the decision made by the Justice and Homeland Security departments to discontinue funding for federal programs that support noncitizens facing deportation. According to the lawsuit, this termination is alleged to be a breach of the Administrative Procedure Act. The case argues that withholding funds that Congress had appropriated for these programs results in severe and irreparable harm to those involved.
