Trump Executive Actions Face More Than 800 Lawsuits as Courts Weigh Key Cases

An NYU-connected litigation tracker has recorded more than 800 cases filed against President Donald Trump’s executive actions since his January 2025 inauguration, USA Today reported. The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in April 2026 on the constitutionality of President Trump’s day-one executive order ending birthright citizenship effective 30 days after issuance.

A decision is expected by June 30, 2026, or at latest early July 2026.

USA Today Justice Department Correspondent Aysha Bagchi said the court took the administration’s technical arguments about the word “jurisdiction” seriously during oral arguments. President Trump and his two oldest sons filed a lawsuit against the IRS alleging inadequate safeguards after a contractor leaked their tax returns.

8 billion settlement that created an “anti-weaponization fund” and released the Trumps from past tax liabilities, including an audit that a 2020 New York Times analysis estimated could require up to $100 million in additional payments.

A second federal judge issued an order blocking the fund. Republican members of Congress refused to pass an immigration enforcement spending bill until the administration scrapped or limited the fund.

Thirty-five former federal judges wrote to the district judge overseeing the IRS settlement case, urging her to reopen it on grounds of improper collusion. The district judge stated she is considering reopening the case and requested formal briefing before deciding. The Kennedy Center Board, largely appointed by President Trump, renamed the John F.

A federal judge ruled that the board lacked authority to rename the Center and ordered the name removed by June 12, 2026. The board appealed at the last minute. After the appeal, the district judge declined to stay his order, and the appeals court also declined to issue a stay, resulting in the name being removed.
