Online Resource Tracks Legal Challenges to Trump Administration Actions

President Trump has issued an unprecedented number of executive orders so early in his presidency, many of which have health equity implications, such as those impacting transgender care. While a president may issue executive orders to direct federal agencies to take steps within the scope of the president’s constitutional authority or as delegated by Congress, executive orders may not exceed that authority or otherwise override federal laws and statutes. Many of President Trump’s administrative actions are being challenged in court as exceeding that authority. Just Security, an online platform affiliated with NYU School of Law, has established a webpage that tracks litigation in response to executive orders, memoranda, proclamations, and other actions taken by the Trump Administration. With the rapidly evolving legal challenges to President Trump’s actions, Just Security’s well-organized website provides a handy tool to stay abreast of the latest developments.
