Litigation Snapshot

Northern Alaska Environmental Center et al. v. Trump: Court: D. Alaska (3:25 cv 00038) claims that EO 14236 targets the revocation of Arctic/Ocean protections for the Outer Continental Shelf—insisting that only Congress can reverse such withdrawals under the OCS Lands Act; Susman Godfrey LLP v. Executive Office of the President Court: D.D.C. (1:25 cv 01107) Filed: April 2025 claims sections of EO 14236 are harmful to advocacy firms and claims to have been targeted under the rescinded EO 14236 provisions. The court granted a TRO on April 15, 2025, preventing enforcement of sections 1, 3, & 5 of EO 14236 and ordering federal agencies—including DOJ and OMB—to disregard those provisions. The injunction restrains the agencies as it pertains to enforcement of these sections of the EO. We should expect challenges to the restraint under Trump v. CASA.
