America First Legal Newsletter – December 6, 2025

America First Legal advanced the fight for our nation’s values this week with bold action and a decisive victory. Below are key accomplishments that show how your support helps us defend freedom, uphold the Constitution, and put America first. 

Here are this week’s highlights:

• Defending girls’ safety and constitutional rights in Fairfax County Public Schools

• Fighting political interference that threatens law and order in Washington, D.C.

THIS WEEK’S KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

Taking on the largest school district in the Commonwealth of Virginia, America First Legal secured a significant victory against Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) this week, sending a clear message that AFL will not stand by as radical gender policies are imposed on school children across the country. This case surrounded a female student who was told she must leave the girls’ restroom if she felt unsafe when a male was present in the girls’ bathroom. Following AFL’s filing against FCPS in federal court, FCPS conceded, and the federal court awarded judgment, nominal damages, and fees to AFL’s client.

This outcome sends a powerful message that schools cannot trample students’ safety, privacy, or constitutional rights to advance their radical agenda. The court’s judgment comes as families nationwide confront school districts determined to impose ideologies that violate the U.S. Constitution and federal law, rendering this win an important step toward restoring reasonable restroom and locker-room policies. America First Legal will continue to fight for and defend the rights of America’s children and parents when school districts violate these federally protected rights.

America First Legal Stands With Trump Administration, Asks the Court to Allow President Trump’s Deployment of the National Guard to Continue in Washington, D.C.

America First Legal, alongside co-counsel, has filed an amicus brief urging the D.C. Circuit to immediately reverse a district court ruling that would pull National Guardsmen out of Washington, D.C. AFL’s amicus brief makes clear that the President has the unquestionable constitutional and statutory authority to protect public safety by deploying the National Guard in the federal district. The district court’s ruling to the contrary jeopardizes the dramatic public-safety gains achieved by the guard over the past several months, including cutting violent crime nearly in half, dropping carjackings to their lowest level since 2020, and restoring the confidence of D.C. residents to move safely across the city and to once again trust law enforcement.

Even Mayor Bowser has acknowledged the guard’s role in driving an “extreme reduction” in violent crime, despite the City Attorney General’s political grandstanding and misleading claims of a “military occupation.” America First Legal will continue to defend the lawful authority of the President to defend public safety and otherwise carry out his duties under the Constitution.

Washington Examiner: Fairfax County Public Schools backs away from one of its pronoun-and-bathroom legal fights

“Jane Doe, the former Fairfax County student represented by America First Legal, accepted the school board’s Rule 68 offer of judgment last Friday — a procedural tool that lets a defendant end a case by offering the relief a plaintiff could have won at trial. The little-noticed update on the court docket means the district will pay nominal damages of $50 and Doe’s accrued attorney’s fees.

The public docket filing indicates that America First Legal accepted the offer of judgment. The court must still approve and enter judgment before the case is formally resolved.”

America First Report: Chicago’s Police Hiring Turns Into a Quagmire With “Equity” Trumping Merit and Law

“In the shadow of a city grappling with rising street crime and a police force stretched thin, a fresh federal complaint has zeroed in on the Chicago Police Department’s recruitment playbook. Filed last week by America First Legal, the document accuses the city and the CPD of weaving race directly into hiring, promotions, and even day-to-day enforcement—a setup that allegedly spits in the face of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.”

Breitbart: Fairfax County Public Schools Backs Down from One of Several Gender Ideology Legal Battles

“America First Legal (AFL), which represents the Catholic former student identified in legal filings as ‘Jane Doe,’ announced on Tuesday that it had obtained judgment on behalf of Doe. The district submitted a Rule 68 Offer of Judgment to avoid further litigation, and agreed to pay damages of $50 and Doe’s attorney’s fees.”
