Litigation Snapshot
AFT / NEA PIs; NAACP nationwide PI granted (cert. rule). THIS NATIONWIDE PI COULD BE AT RISK DUE TO TRUMP v. CASA. On January 21, 2026, the Trump Administration abandoned its appeal to the 4th Circuit to overturn the District Court's finding that the Dept. of Education's "Dear Colleague Letter" was unenforceable. That means, the District Court's ruling stands. The Dear Colleague Letter is legally unenforceable.
