CONFIRMED89% CONFIDENCEStated as firm, per the City Attorney's release dated August 25, 2026: "The Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals today affirmed in large part a lower court decision"; the SF Standard[2]: the panel "on Tuesday voted to uphold an order".
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.
