Breaking News: Youth Plaintiffs Challenge Trump’s Fossil-Fuel Orders as “Death Sentence” Violating Constitutional Rights
On 29 May 2025, twenty-two young Americans filed Held v. United States in federal district court, alleging that President Trump’s series of Fossil-Fuel Orders trample their constitutional guarantees to life and liberty (Our Children’s Trust). The suit centers on three directives: a “national energy emergency,” a mandate to “unleash American energy,” and an order to reinvigorate coal production. Plaintiffs aged seven to twenty-five—hailing from climate-vulnerable states including Montana, Hawaii, Oregon, California, and Florida—argue that by boosting oil, gas, and coal output and suppressing renewable energy research, the administration flagrantly ignores statutory environmental protections and inflicts a “state-created danger” upon future generations.
