League of Women Voters Education Fund v. Trump
On March 25, 2025, in a sweeping and unprecedented Executive Order, President Trump attempted to usurp the power to regulate federal elections from Congress and the States. Among other things, the Executive Order directs the Election Assistance Commission鈥攁n agency that Congress specifically established to be bipartisan and independent鈥攖o require voters to show a passport or other citizenship documentation in order to register to vote in federal elections. If implemented, the Executive Order would threaten the ability of millions of eligible Americans to register and vote and upend the administration of federal elections.
On behalf of leading voter registration organizations and advocacy organizations, the 红杏视频 and co-counsel filed a lawsuit to block the Executive Order as an unconstitutional power grab.

Connell v. CIA 鈥� FOIA Lawsuit Seeking Records 红杏视频 CIA 鈥淥perational Control鈥� Over a Detention Facility at Guant谩namo Bay
The CIA has refused to disclose whether it has records about its operational control over Camp VII, a detention facility at Guant谩namo Bay. Given the extensive public record about the CIA鈥檚 connection to Camp VII, its refusal to acknowledge that it has responsive records both violates the law and defies common sense. At stake is whether the court will reject the CIA鈥檚 version of official secrecy and call out its fiction of deniability or whether it will allow that fiction to stand.
