Following the Temporary Restraining Order (TRO), US District Court judge Kathleen Williams partially granted a preliminary injunction: "No later than sixty (60) days from the date of this order, and once the population attrition allows for safe implementation of this Order, the Defendants shall remove 1) the temporary fencing installed by Defendants to allow Tribe members access to the site consistent with the access they enjoyed before the erection of the detention camp; 2) the Sunbelt lighting fixtures and any additional lighting installed for the use of the property as a detention facility; and 3) all generators, gas, sewage, and other waste and waste receptacles that were installed to support this project."

Friends of the Everglades filed a complaint against Kristie Noem over the development of "Alligator Alcatraz". The courts sided with Friends of the Everglades and issued a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction ordering the Department of Homeland Security to stop all additional construction and dismantle the site within 60 days. This document grants a "stay" on those injunctions, upholding the courts' order to close Alligator Alcatraz.

Original complaint filed by Friends of the Everglades against Kristie Noem under the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA).

The redacted PDF version of Jeffrey Epstein's infamous "little black book" which details his sexual and pedophilic crimes. The Record Resistance team has read the book in full.

The first civil rights act passed by Congress since the late-1800s, this bill paved the way for Black Americans to receive equal voting rights and protections under the US Constitution. It also established the US Commission on Civil Rights and the US Department of Justice Civil Rights Division. Unfortunately, loopholes allowed racial discrimination in voting to persist despite this ruling. The bill was proposed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in response to the "massive resistance" wave of violence and terror inflicted by white people on Black Americans following the verdict of Brown v. Board in 1954.

This act requires the federal inspection of voter registration polls and set penalties for those who try to block American citizens from registering to vote. This bill intended to fill gaps and fix loopholes in civil rights protections left open by the Civil Rights Act of 1957..

This landmark bill is what most Americans think of when they hear the term "civil rights" used in a political context. This act prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, sex, gender, religion, and ethnicity.

This act is part of a larger law called The Civil Rights Act of 1968. Amended in 1974 to cover sex-based rights, the Fair Housing Act outlaws discrimination in housing (including sales, rentals, and financing) on the basis of race, gender, religion, and ethnicity. The act also makes it a federal crime to abuse or threaten anyone based on the above, as well as disability and familial status.

Amended five times since its passage, this act of Congress outlaws racial discrimination in voting. This landmark law is one of the most impactful in American history.

This Supreme Court ruling found that gender identity and sexual orientation are protected under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1994. The plaintiff, Gerald Bostock, was fired for expressing interest in joining a gay softball team.

This Supreme Court ruling paved the way for gay marriage to be legalized in the US. It ruled that same-sex couples have the right to marry thanks to the Due Process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

This Supreme Court case established the "mixed-motive" framework, which lets employees argue and prove discrimination, even if they've faced action in the past for legitimate reasons. The plaintiff, Ann Hopkins, was denied partnership with her employer for two years and experienced ongoing discrimination against her appearance. Her employer failed to disprove the discrimination and also failed to prove she would've been denied partnership on other grounds.

This Supreme Court case ruled that an amendment to Colorado's state constitution blocking protected status for gay and bisexual people violated the Equal Protection Clause.

This Supreme Court case ruled in favor of a transgender teenager named Ashton, whose school district denied him the right to use the boys' bathroom. Ashton filed the suit under the Education Amendments Act and Equal Protection Clause.

This landmark Supreme Court case gives single and unmarried people the same access to contraception as married couples. It overruled a Massachusetts state law that prohibited single people from accessing contraception to prevent pregnancy.

This Supreme Court decision found that the right for married people to use contraception without government interference is enshrined in the US Constitution. It struck down a Connecticut law outlawing the use of contraception for preventing pregnancy.

This landmark Supreme Court case ruled that outlawing interracial marriage violates the Due Process and Equal Protection clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment.

It also overruled a Washington state law that let any third party seek child visitation rights in the courts, even over the child's own parents.

This Supreme Court case established precedent that the US Constitution does not automatically grant the right to an abortion. This decision overruled Roe v. Wade and essentially leaves abortion rights up to states to enforce. Since its passage, several states have introduced strict abortion bans.

This Supreme Court decision granted women equal pay and treatment in the US military. The case was specifically about the unequal benefits given to family members of women veterans.

This Supreme Court decision upheld the precedecent set by Roe v. Wade on abortion rights in the United States. It also established that a Pennsylvania state law that prohibited women from seeking an abortion without their husband's consent was unconstitutional under the Fourth Amendment.

This Supreme Court case ruled that sex-based discrimination in the administration of estates was unconstitutional. The case was brought forward by the parents of a deceased child who wanted to be named administrator of the estate. Idaho state law at the time stipulated that "males were preferred to females". In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court ruled this unconstitutional under the Fourteenth Amendment.

This landmark Supreme Court ruling granted women abortion rights under the Constitution. Overruled in 2022 by Dobbs, Roe v. Wade ruled that state laws restricting or criminalizing abortion violate Due Process under the Fourteenth Amendment.

This Supreme Court decision ruled that male-only admission rules in place at Virginia Military Institute were unconstitutional under the Fourteenth Amendent. It also struck down the institute's attempt to create a separate women-only college, arguing this "did not resolve the unconstitutionality".

This paper establishes the need for the establishment of climate indicators to accurately assess change levels. It also recommends indicator categories and shares insights on new research needed to achieve the implementation of these indicators.

This paper explores the findings of the National Climate Assessment vol. 4 and makes recommendations for a sustained climate assessment program. The goals of this program are to inform relevant decision-making, educate the public on the effects of climate change. A Federal Advisory Committee (FAC) was established in 2016 by the agencies listed. In 2017, NOAA announced the FAC would not be continued. In 2018, the original contributors teamed up with 8 additional experts to form their own Independent Advisory Committee on Applied Climate Assessment to complete this report.

Produced by the agencies listed, this report explores lessons learned while conducting climate vulnerability assessments (CVAs) at sites on the National Priorities List (NPL). The paper focuses on Superfund, but mentions the process outlined throughout is program-neutral and can be used to perform CVAs at any contaminated site managed by a cleanup program.

The Endangerment Finding states that "air pollution" contains 6 greenhouse gases. It also establishes standards for emissions by sources of these gases, namely car manufacturers. The current Republican administration is seeking to roll back the Endangerment Finding, which would have catastrophic consequences for the environment. (See related document archived on Record Resistance: Proposed Rule—Reconsideration of 2009 Endangerment Finding & GHG Vehicle Standards)

This report summarizes the work completed by the EPA's enforcement and compliance assurance program in 2024. According to the report, this division "held polluters accountable across the Nation," and their work "will help ensure clean air, safe drinking water, healthy rivers and streams, reduced land contamination, and fewer chemical accidents and toxic exposures."

This 2019 US Government Accountability Office report found that 60% of Superfund sites managed by the EPA were located in areas at high risk of natural disasters due to climate change. Superfund sites are some of the most contaminated in the country. The report found that, while the EPA had taken some steps to manage risk, more needed to be done.

This study found that EPA enforcement actions against plants have a knock-on effect, influencing other plants nearby to reduce their emissions. This effect was greater for plants located near socially responsible investment funds.

Created in 2023 by President Joe Biden, the National Climate Resilience Framework outlines objectives for strengthening resilience against the effects of climate change nationwide. It summarizes POTUS 46 and his administration's investments in clean energy and climate action.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency is moving to roll back its 2009 Endangerment Finding, which established that greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles pose a threat to public health and welfare. All related vehicle emission standards could be repealed. The proposed rule, signed July 29, 2025, claims that the Clean Air Act does not authorize the EPA to regulate greenhouse gases for climate change, questions the scientific reliability of prior findings, and argues that technology cannot address emissions without creating other public health risks.

The US Climate Resistance Toolkit compiles all government resources and reports on climate change into one educational resource center for the general public. This study assesses the effectiveness of the toolkit and provides recommendations for creating similar frameworks in the future.

The Integrated Science Assessment (ISA) analyzes the health effects of particulate matter, a type of air pollution made of small, complex particles. This ~2,000-page report is highly technical but includes crucial information about how particulate matter affects human health.

The National Climate Assessment was established in 2000 to measure and educate the public on the effects of climate change in the US. These reports are extensive, produced in partnership with hundreds of scientists, experts, advisory committees, and even members of the public. In June 2025, the current Republican administration removed the reports from government websites. We've archived and republished all previous reports here.

This summary of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) from the Congressional Research Service summarizes the law that establishes worker and child labor protections, including minimum wage, overtime pay, and maximum weekly work hours. It includes notes and information on relevant amendments since its initial passage. Project 2025 seeks to weaken these protections, particularly child labor protections.

The National Labor Relations Act allows workers to organize in unions. Project 2025 seeks to weaken all union protections.

The Occupational Health and Safety Act (OSHA) ensures safe working conditions for Americans and also establishes worker's compensation and simiilar initiatives. While it's unclear whether Project 2025 is targeting OSHA protections, it actively seeks to weaken child labor protections — Record Resistance anticipates this document is at risk of alteration or removal.

This landmark case established Supreme Court precedent for cases involving the First Amendment. This case established that even speech advocating for the use of force or illegal action is protected under the First Amendment, unless it directly causes or leads to an unlawful action.

This case established Supreme Court precedent for the processing of cell site location information (CSLI).

This act of Congress prevents the government from spying on digital communications. While the law has faced a lot of criticism for being outdated,

This law outlines requirements and restrictions for surveilling and collecting foreign intelligence on US soil. Enacted after Nixon's infamous privacy violations, it's since been revised several times since September 11, 2001. The current Republican administration has blocked the renewal of sections of this act as recently as 2024.

This act requires government agencies to release previously classified documents that fit certain criteria upon request. The act, which has been amended several times, also lists agencies that are exempt from FOIA.

This Supreme Court ruling determined what counts as a "search" or "seizure" under the Fourteenth Amendment. It expanded the definition of privacy to include not just someone's body, home, and belongings, but also any place where they have "a reasonable expectation to privacy".

This Supreme Court ruling came after the state of Alabama tried to stop NAACP from conducting business in the state. After a restraining order from the circuit court, the state tried to subpeona records from NAACP. The Supreme Court ruled this action from the state violated NAACP's right to due process under the Fourteenth Amendment.

This Supreme Court ruling limits politicians' and government officials' ability to sue for defamation.

The Privacy Act is designed to safeguard the collection, use, and sharing of personal data by federal government agencies. As of March 2025, more than a dozen lawsuits against DOGE allege the agency violated the Privacy Act when accessing Treasury, Medicaid, and other kinds of data.

This Supreme Court ruling protects the First Amendment rights of students. It established the precedent of the "Tinker test" which is used to confirm whether a school's efforts to minimize disruption infringe on students' right to exercise their freedom of speech.

This Supreme Court Ruling found that the San Francisco School Board's failure to provide English education to Chinese, non-English speaking students violated the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The court held that prohibiting these students from getting a "meaningful education" created disparate impact.

This Supreme Court ruling found that Pennsylvania's law allowing schools to deny students aged 8 (but with a "mental age" of 5 or younger) a free education was unconstitutional. This law had also been used to deny free education to students who "had trouble adjusting to classroom environments".

This Supreme Court case overruled a Texas state law denying education funding to children of undocumented immigrants. It also prohibits states from demanding tuition fees for children of undocumented immigrants who have had funding withheld or denied.

This Supreme Court case was brought forth by two women living with mental illness who were forced to remain in confinement in a mental health institution for several years after their treatment finished — even though their caregivers agreed they'd benefit from living in a community rather than an institution setting. The verdict set precedent that mental illness is a disability that's covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

This act, passed during the Nixon administration, prohibits the federal government, as well as its agencies and any programs receiving federal funding, from discriminating against people with disabilities. It also established the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) within the Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitation Services. RSA provides resources and helps state agencies provide vocational rehabilitation services to people with disabilities to help them find work and integrate into their professional communities.

This section of the Rehabilitation Act prohibits any program receiving federal funding from the Department of Education from discriminating against people with disabilities.

This Supreme Court ruling requires states to appoint a lawyer to defendants of the legal or criminal system who cannot afford one. It ensures everyone has access to legal representation within the court system as a Sixth Amendment right.

This Supreme Court case prohibits state governments from using evidence gathered by violating the Fourth Amendment, which determines what counts as "probable cause" for seizes, searches, and warrants. It expanded previous precedent that prohibited the federal government from doing the same.

The origin of the term "Miranda rights", this Supreme Court ruling requires law enforcement to inform someone of their constitutional rights before interrogating them while they're in custody or not free to leave.

This Supreme Court ruling upheld a previous Ohio Supreme Court verdict that states police can "stop and frisk" a person as long as they have reason to believe they have committed or are about to commit a crime. It also grants police the power to "stop and frisk" suspects they believe to be armed and dangerous. These situations, according to the ruling, do not violate a person's Fourth Amendment rights on search and seizure.

This landmark Supreme Court case found racial segregation in schools to be unconstitutional under the Fourteenth Amendment. This ruling partially overturned Plessy v. Ferguson, the previous precedent which held that segregation was constitutional as long as facilities were "separate but equal".

In response to the "Little Rock Nine Crisis" — in which nine Black students were barred from entering the recently desegregated Little Rock High school by Arizona Governor Faustus — this Supreme Court case prohibited the Little Rock school board from delaying desegregation for 30 months. The case established precedent that requires states to enforce federal court rulings even if they don't agree with them.

This Supreme Court ruling found that the "freedom of choice" plan implemented by New Kent County School Board shortly after Brown v. Board was unconstitutional. These "freedom of choice" plans allowed students to choose which school they preferred to attend: New Kent, the all-white school, or George W. Watkins, the all-Black school.

This 2007 Supreme Court ruling found it unconstitutional for school districts to assign students to schools based on race, unless it was doing so to reverse prior segregation.

This Supreme Court case found that racial segregation laws did not violate the Constitution, as long as segregated facilities were "separate but equal".

This precedent was overruled by Brown vs. Board of Education, which required all schools to de-segregate.

Originating from a writ of habeas corpus petition made from a civilian court, this ruling held that suspects of foreign terrorism being held at Guantanomo Bay had the right to challenge their detention. It also found that the Military Commission Act of 2006 was unconstitutional in its suspension of prisoners' right to a writ of habeas corpus.

This Supreme Court ruling required President Nixon to submit audio recordings and other items related to the Watergate scandal. According to Wikipedia's summary of the court's holding, "The Supreme Court does have the final voice in determining constitutional questions; no person, not even the president of the United States, is completely above the law; and the president cannot use executive privilege as an excuse to withhold evidence that is 'demonstrably relevant in a criminal trial.'"

This Supreme Court ruling limits the ability of POTUS to seize private property, particularly without special authority granted by Article 2 of the Constitution. The case came in response to President Truman's seizure of steel production during the Korean War.

This Supreme Court ruling established precedent that required many states to redistrict for the first time in decades to account for population growth and ensure "one person, one vote". Before this ruling, rural districts in many states, including Alabama and Tennessee, were over-represented while urban areas with much higher populations were under-represented.

One of the most controversial Supreme Court rulings, this case overruled a decision by the Florida Supreme Court to recount the state's votes in the 2000 presidential election. With a 5-4 majority from Justice Anton Scalia, the recount was stopped, Bush won the 25 Electoral College votes from Florida, giving him 271 of the 270 required to win the election.

This Supreme Court case found that "grandfather clause exemptions" to literacy tests required to vote in some Southern states are unconstitutional. According to Wikipedia, these exemptions "were designed to protect the voting rights of illiterate white voters while disenfranchising Black voters."

Enacted in response to the vote recount controversy in the 2000 presidential election, the Help America Vote Act established the Election Assistance Commission to ensure fair and equitable voting systems and processes. The act also seeks to replace punchcard machines like the ones involved in Bush v. Gore. It also requires states to ensure their voting systems are modern and kept up to date.

This bill, passed during the Clinton administration, makes voter registration easier for anyone who has a driver's license or applies for public assistance. It also establishes requirements for the US Postal Service's delivery of election-related materials.

This Supreme Court case challenged a Constitution of Alabama stipulation that appointed only 1 senator per county regardless of the county's population. This case, along with Baker v. Carr, contributed to the Supreme Court precedent that required redistricting to ensure "one person, one vote".

This Supreme Court ruling tightened restrictions against states attempting to engage in gerrymandering (redrawing the boundaries of political districts to gain an unfair advantage). It also clarified that race-based redistricting efforts must adhere strictly to the equal protection clause. The ruling came after North Carolina added a 12th congressional district and submitted their redrawing plans to Attorney General Janet Reno for preclearance. The Department of Justice rejected the plan and required North Carolina to redraw its districts to comply with the Voting Rights Act.

This unanimous decision by the Supreme Court found that certain sections of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 were unconstitutional — namely, the requirement for states to be precleared by the federal government before updating their voting laws, and the outdated "coverage formula" that decided which districts had to be precleared due to their history of racial discrimination in voting.

This Supreme Court verdict overruled a Texas law that allowed political parties to set their own election rules, which led to racially disciminatory practices like all-white primaries.

This Supreme Court ruling upheld the constitutionality of the Immigration and Naturalization Service's (INS) policy that detained, unaccompanied children of undocumented immigrants could only be released to a parent or guardian. It also requires the INS to provide safe and sanitary conditions for children, which include soap, toothpaste, and water. Both POTUS 45 and POTUS 47's administration has defied and broken this ruling by separating immigrant families at the border and failing to provide them with safe and sanitary conditions.

This Supreme Court case established the precedent of birthright citizenship, or automatic US citizenship for any person born in the United States.

This Supreme Court case found that so-called "race-neutral" laws enforced in racially prejudiced ways were unconstitutional. The plaintiff, a Chinese immigrant and owner of a laundromat in San Francisco, was arrested after refusing to pay a fine for continuing to operate his business without a permit. He'd applied for this permit and been denied. The case found that, of 200 Chinese laundromat owners applying for the permit, only 1 was approved. This proved racial discrimination, as only 1 non-Chinese owner was denied the same permit. After his arrest, Wo petitioned the California Supreme Court for a writ of habeus corpus, allowing the US Supreme Court to investigate his unlawful detention.

This Supreme Court ruling clarified that detaining foreigners indefinitely under the Immigration and Nationality Act was unconstitutional. It came in response to controversy surrounding several immigrants who had been detained for 20+ years while awaiting deportation.

This Supreme Court ruling reaffirmed Indigenous peoples' right to co-manage and fish for salmon on tribal lands ceded to the US government. The ruling came after a series of attempts by the state of Washington to enforce state laws regarding fishing license and harvest requirements on local Indigenous tribes.

This law recognizes the sovereignty of Indigenous governments over Indigenous children residing or permanently domiciled on a reservation. It grants Indigenous governments exclusive jurisdiction over child custody and other types of cases. The law was passed in response to what Wikipedia calls the "disproportionate removal of Indigenous children from Tribal communities".

This Supreme Court ruling found that the Georgia state law prohibiting white men from entering Indigenous lands without a state license was unconstitutional. The plaintiffs argued the law infringed on the Cherokee government's right to manage its own lands. The plaintiffs had all been sentenced to four years of hard labor at the Georgia Penitentiary for protesting the law.

The HUD Disparate Impact Rule prohibits discrimination in housing. Originally passed in 2013 and restored again in 2023, it was effectively nullified by POTUS 45's administration with the introduction of a 2020 rule that essentially barred people from pleading a disparate impact claim under the Fair Housing Act. As of September 2025, the rule itself, as well as the announcement of its restoration in 2023, have been removed from the HUD website.

This Supreme Court case bans racial discrimination in housing and renting. While this decision reversed several past precedents, it's based on the Civil Rights Act of 1866. This precedent also established that the 13th Amendment of the US Constitution grants Congress the right to ban these acts and categorize them as "among the badges and incidences of slavery

This case established Supreme Court precedent for racial discrimination in housing. It challenged the long-standing practice of stipulations from housing companies and realtors that prohibited people of certain races from occupying property. Shelley v. Kraemer found that these types of deed restrictions can't legally be enforced.
