Several U.S. farmers and non-profit organizations filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration on Thursday, arguing it is illegally withholding Department of Agriculture grants funded by the Inflation Reduction Act.

The USDA has frozen a broad swath of grants as it conducts an agency-wide spending review, including money for conservation and other farm programs funded by the IRA.

The five farmers involved in the suit were awarded grants from a USDA Rural Energy for America Program to install solar panels. The three non-profits involved were awarded Forest Service grants.
