 The American Civil Liberties Union is leading multiple lawsuits against the Trump administration, most notably challenging the president’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act to accelerate mass deportations during peacetime, arguing it unlawfully sidesteps immigration law and due process protections. The ACLU has also joined with Planned Parenthood to fight rules designed to restrict insurance coverage for abortion.

AFGE is a lead plaintiff in lawsuits against Trump’s executive orders that revoke union rights for federal employees, alleging these actions are retaliatory and violate constitutional protections. AFGE is also part of broader union efforts to contest mass layoffs and the elimination of collective bargaining rights for over a million federal workers.

 Democracy Forward is representing labor and economic organizations in lawsuits against the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) for unlawfully accessing sensitive data at federal agencies and for executive overreach. They are also involved in challenging attacks on the legal profession and the judiciary, as well as fighting the administration’s efforts to dismantle evidence-based public health programs.

LatinoJustice PRLDEF has participated in lawsuits (such as NAACP LDF v. Trump) challenging the Trump administration’s actions that allegedly discriminate against Black and Latino voters, particularly regarding the establishment of the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, which plaintiffs argue was intended to suppress minority voting rights.

The NAACP LDF is engaged in litigation against Trump administration policies that undermine civil rights, including lawsuits against executive orders banning diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, and actions alleged to intentionally discriminate against Black and Latino voters through the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity.

The National Urban League is a plaintiff in a federal lawsuit challenging three anti-equity executive orders from President Trump that target diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, and transgender rights. The suit argues these orders violate free speech, due process, and equal protection rights, and threaten to cut off critical services to marginalized communities.

 Planned Parenthood is actively fighting the Trump administration in court over sweeping efforts to cut off federal funding and restrict access to reproductive health services. The administration has frozen tens of millions in Title X family planning grants, citing alleged violations of executive orders related to diversity, equity, and inclusion, as well as claims that Planned Parenthood serves undocumented immigrants and uses race in hiring and operations. These funds support contraception, cancer screenings, and STI testing for low-income patients, and Planned Parenthood argues that the cuts will severely limit access to essential health care. In addition, Planned Parenthood is challenging efforts by the Trump administration and states like South Carolina to exclude its clinics from Medicaid programs. The legal argument centers on the federal Medicaid “free choice of provider” provision, which guarantees patients the right to choose any qualified provider, and asserts that states cannot arbitrarily disqualify Planned Parenthood simply for offering abortion services, especially since Medicaid funds do not pay for abortions. Planned Parenthood contends that these actions violate federal law and the Constitution, particularly by imposing new rules after funding has already been granted and by endangering access to non-abortion health care for millions. Planned Parenthood’s lawsuits seek to restore funding, block discriminatory rules, and ensure continued access to care, emphasizing the broader impact on low-income communities and the erosion of reproductive rights nationwide.

  The legal dispute over the North Carolina Supreme Court election remains unresolved after Democrat Allison Riggs won by 734 votes over Republican Jefferson Griffin. Griffin challenged over 60,000 ballots, including those from military, overseas, and voters with alleged registration issues. The Republican-majority state Supreme Court ruled to discard ballots from “never residents” (overseas voters who never lived in NC) and required military and overseas voters without photo ID to cure their ballots within 30 days, but rejected Griffin’s broader attempt to disqualify tens of thousands of early and absentee ballots, narrowing the number of votes at risk to about 1,675. Riggs argues that changing election rules after voting violates federal law and the Constitution and has appealed to federal courts. A federal judge has temporarily blocked certification while allowing the ballot-curing process to proceed, with further appeals likely4. The outcome depends on a small number of ballots, with Riggs still favored, but the process could take months and potentially reach the U.S. Supreme Court. The National GOP is directly involved, backing Griffin’s legal efforts and deploying national resources to support his attempts to disqualify ballots, especially from Democratic-leaning and overseas voters. This is part of a broader Republican trend to aggressively contest close election results and challenge ballots likely to favor Democrats, with national party organizations playing an active role.

They may seem like a North Carolina issue, but it will have a national impact.
