Ninth Circuit Upholds Block on Trump's Housing and Transit Grant Conditions

Appeals judges largely affirmed an injunction won by San Francisco and seven other local governments, stopping HUD and the Transportation Department from tying grants to anti-DEI, immigration and abortion conditions, protecting about $240 million a year in HUD money and $2 billion in DOT funding to the city.

On 25 August 2026 the Ninth Circuit affirmed in large part the preliminary injunction in Martin Luther King, Jr. County v. Scott Turner, which bars HUD and the Department of Transportation from imposing political conditions on grants^[1]
The ruling was split; Judge Margaret McKeown wrote for the majority that "this appeal highlights the tension that arises when sweeping executive orders collide with statutory text"^[3]
San Francisco and seven other local governments sued in May 2025; Judge Barbara J. Rothstein issued the preliminary injunction on 3 June 2025^[1]
The conditions required grantees to certify they run no programs that violate federal anti-discrimination law, not to spend funds promoting "gender ideology" or elective abortion, and to verify recipients' immigration status^[2]
The court found that "the majority of the conditions far exceed the limited authority set out by Congress", and narrowed the order in one respect so that anti-discrimination law as traditionally interpreted can still be enforced^[1]
For San Francisco the ruling protects about $240 million a year in HUD funds, including about $50 million for homelessness, and some $2 billion from DOT agencies such as the FTA, FHWA and FAA^[1]
A separate injunction over HHS grant conditions, won on 12 August 2025, is on its own appeal to the Ninth Circuit^[1]
