- Federal judge rules against non-profits challenging Trump administration rescission of violence-prevention grants — Judge Amit P. Mehta of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ruled against five non-profit organizations that sued the Trump administration over the rescission of hundreds of millions of dollars in grant funding for violence prevention, substance abuse response, and hate crime programs. Although Mehta called the cuts "shameful" and stated they would likely harm vulnerable communities, he ruled he lacked authority to issue an injunction to restore the funding. The Department of Justice had terminated the grants on April 22, 2025, claiming they no longer aligned with the administration's priorities.
