Case Summary

[This summary is temporary while we research the case.]

On October 7, 2025, National Digital Inclusion Alliance (NDIA) sued the Trump administration in U.S. District Court in the District of District of Columbia. NDIA brought this lawsuit to challenge the unilateral repeal by the Executive Branch of the Digital Equity Competitive Grant Program, which Congress required under the Digital Equity Act of 2021. NDIA alleges that Defendants’ defiance of Congress’s clear will by eliminating an entire statutory scheme based on a policy set forth in EO 14151 and EO 14173 violates the separation of powers, infringes Congress’s spending power under Article I, usurps the power delegated to the Courts under Article III, and far exceeds the constitutional authority of the Executive Branch. 

This case is ongoing.
