As long as the Trump-Vance administration keeps threatening federal workers — we will keep winning in court.
We won another court order blocking the Trump-Vance admin from firing federal workers.
AGAIN.

"Skye Perryman, president and CEO of Democracy Forward whose legal team is representing the plaintiffs, in a statement called the ruling “a powerful affirmation that no one—not a president, not a governor—is above the law.”

"The plaintiffs, represented by the Democracy Forward Foundation, argued that Lee was misusing his powers and that the deployment to Memphis did not fit the limited scope with which the governor can deploy the guard under state law."

Yet again, President Trump and his allies are engaged in an unlawful and harmful use of military force in another American city. The people of Tennessee deserve leaders who respect the limits of their office and the rule of law. That's what we're fighting for in court.

President Trump lied on the campaign trail because he knew how deeply unpopular Project 2025 is. Now he's vowing to implement its agenda. Our team has been fighting it in court since Day 1 and we will continue doing so to protect people & the institutions they rely on.

President Trump spent $15 billion in taxpayer dollars to lose 200,000+ federal jobs and millions of combined years of experience. We lit up Washington, D.C. to expose the Trump-Vance administration’s reckless dismantling of the federal government.

Let me be clear: none of this is about immigration, it’s about cruelty and the targeting of people in vulnerable circumstances. To strip our clients of their rights and threaten them with deportation is a gross violation of the law and public trust.
