The ALA sues over the scuppering of the IMLS

Apr 08 2025

The American Library Association (ALA) and the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), whose members include museum and library workers nationwide, have sued over what the ALA called, in a release, “the Trump administration’s gutting of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).” Among the defendants are Keith Sonderling, in his capacity as acting director of the IMLS, along with the IMLS itself; President Donald Trump; and U.S. DOGE Service acting administrator Amy Gleason, along with DOGE itself.
