Federal Judge Declares Trump Administration's Humanities Grant Cancellations Unconstitutional
A federal judge in New York has ruled that the Trump administration's cancellation of over $100 million in humanities grants was unconstitutional. The decision came after several organizations, including The Authors Guild and the American Historical Association, sued the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and the National Endowment for the Humanities. The judge found that the administration's actions violated the First and Fifth Amendments, citing viewpoint discrimination as a key issue. The grants, which were canceled as part of a broader initiative to cut funding for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, were deemed unlawfully terminated.
