America is under threat from ideologies that are eroding our founding principles. The American way of life, including federalism, free speech, and the rule of law, is being undermined and distorted by Big Government, Big Tech, and Big Media. The America First Policy Institute established the Center for Litigation to restore the most fundamental rights of all Americans. The Center will fight to rebuild a government that is of the people, for the people, and by the people.

People of NY v Trump - AFPI Amicus on the Merits
AFPI believes that the court below erred when it summarily remanded Defendant-Appellant’s Second Notice of Removal without holding an evidentiary hearing. Congress intended removal for federal officials to be broadly construed to prevent state interference with federal operations and to ensure federal officials can vindicate their interests before a federal court. Proper consideration of the federal issues raised by Defendant-Appellant—presidential immunity doctrine and preemption—would have established good cause for removal.
