Court Restores $127M in Illegally Canceled Grants from USDA's Increasing Land, Capital, and Market Access Program

Plaintiff’s-counsel press release — Earthjustice represents plaintiffs in this case, so this is not a neutral source, though its factual claims (dollar figure, grantee count, quotes) are corroborated by independent press coverage. Best available source for the named grantee quotes and the 24-plaintiff figure. Carrie Apfel of Earthjustice quoted: “USDA cannot use its anti-DEI policies to terminate congressionally authorized investments.”
