America is under threat from ideologies that are eroding our founding principles. The American way of life, including federalism, free speech, and the rule of law, is being undermined and distorted by Big Government, Big Tech, and Big Media. The America First Policy Institute established the Center for Litigation to restore the most fundamental rights of all Americans. The Center will fight to rebuild a government that is of the people, for the people, and by the people.

McMahon v. New York: Returning Education to the States
On July 14, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court granted an emergency stay in McMahon v. New York, allowing the Trump Administration to proceed with large-scale workforce reductions at the Department of Education in an effort to return education policy to the states. The decision aligns with one of President Trump’s campaign promises to shut down the federal Department of Education in favor of local control for schools. The Court’s unsigned order lifts a lower court injunction and affirms the Executive Branch’s broad discretion over federal personnel and agency structure.
