Case Summary

On April 28, 2025, six state Head Start programs filed this lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington against the Department of Health and Human Services and its Secretary, the Administration for Children and Families and its Acting Assistant Secretary, and the Acting Director of the Office of Head Start. The Plaintiffs challenged the Trump administration's efforts to eliminate Head Start programs, including office closures and mass layoffs across the country. They alleged that Defendants' actions violated Separation of Powers, the Spending Clause, the Due Process Clause, the First Amendment, the Administrative Procedure Act, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.
