America First Legal Newsletter – November 16, 2025

As the holidays quickly approach us, America First Legal remains focused on the fight to save our country. Every day, we fight to uphold the rule of law, defend the Constitution, and protect the rights of all Americans against the radical policies threatening our nation’s foundational principles. AFL stands firm—unyielding in our commitment to truth, fairness, and safeguarding American families. Here are this week’s highlights:

• Fighting to keep boys out of girls’ locker rooms.

• Defending election integrity through our groundbreaking census case.

THIS WEEK’S KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

AFL has strengthened its landmark lawsuit against the U.S. Census Bureau for manipulating the 2020 Census. The amended complaint now includes Representative Byron Donalds (R-FL), whose state of Florida lost two House seats due to unlawful statistical methods that distorted representation and silenced American voices.

Our lawsuit argues that the Census Bureau abandoned its constitutional duty and the rule of law to count real Americans and instead relied on flawed statistical models that reshaped the nation’s political map. The lawsuit seeks to have the 2020 Census declared unlawful, to block such manipulation in future counts, and to require a corrected, lawful census report. This case is part of AFL’s broader effort to defend election integrity, uphold the Constitution, and ensure every American’s voice is heard and represented.

AFL has filed a Title IX complaint against Westford Public Schools in Massachusetts, demanding a federal investigation into the school district’s policy that allows boys to use girls’ bathrooms and locker rooms. AFL argues that this policy blatantly violates Title IX’s clear protection of students based on biological sex, not self-declared gender identity. 

Despite federal court rulings and President Trump’s executive order reaffirming that “sex” means biological sex, Westford continues to enforce an ideological agenda that undermines student privacy and fairness. The district’s actions are a lawless betrayal of parents and students, and a punishment of those who uphold biological truth. AFL will continue to fight for the restoration of common sense and the protection of equal rights under the law.

“‘The Constitution and laws of the United States have requirements for the Census for good reason,’ Gene Hamilton, president of America First Legal, which is representing the plaintiffs, said in a statement to the DCNF. ‘It determines representation, funding, and even how the president is elected. Representation must be based on real counts of real Americans.’”

“Last month, the administration settled a lawsuit brought by firms — represented by the Trump-aligned America First Legal nonprofit — that claimed language related to workforce diversity in the city’s vendor contracts was illegal.

As part of the settlement, the city agreed to pay $417,000 in attorneys’ fees and clarify that diversity benchmarks in its project agreements are aspirational goals, not mandatory quotas.”
