Administration Update: Courts Respond to Executive Order Challenges

America's Essential Hospitals is closely monitoring the executive orders signed by President Trump since he took office on Jan. 20, as well as related lawsuits challenging the executive orders and other agency actions. The association will continue to provide biweekly lawsuit updates and real-time summaries of executive orders and related agency actions.

Since the association's last update, on Sept. 16, the First Circuit Court of Appeals denied the federal government's request for a stay after a Rhode Island district court issued a preliminary injunction halting the implementation of the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS') reorganization plan.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals remanded a separate case challenging HHS' reorganization plan to a California district court while requiring the federal government to turn over its reorganization and reduction in force plan to the district court.

Members can access the association's latest review of the lawsuits against the Trump administration's actions and a full summary of executive orders from Jan. 20 through Aug. 19.
