On November 21, the District Court in the state of Rhode Island issued a permanent injunction in the case of IMLS v. Trump. Previously, President Trump took steps to dismantle the Institute of Museum and Library Services. The action was immediately challenged in court, where it was temporarily halted. This court ruling permanently vacates his actions. The court held that the dismantling of IMLS was unlawful, unconstitutional, and in direct violation of Congress’ clear statutory directives.
