New York v. Trump (1:25-cv-11221) Offshore Wind
Multiple states are suing the Trump administration because it failed to follow the Administrative Procedure Act.
.
On January 20, 2025, President Trump issued the wind turbine memorandum reviewing leasing and permits for wind projects.
.
A federal court hearing was held on November 18, 2025, in Boston.
.
A federal judge cannot directly determine how long the government takes to make a decision, as the government's decision-making process is an executive function. Federal judges cannot mandate when an executive branch agency must take action.
.
Federal judges can compel the executive branch to enforce a court decision, but they cannot directly force an executive branch agency to make an initial decision. In some cases, a judge can set deadlines for the parties involved in the case to make decisions or take certain actions, but this is separate from determining the government's initial decision-making timeline.
.
The Trump administration has hundreds of lawsuits, mostly from Blue states. Since January 20, 2025, the Supreme Court has issued 23 decisions on the shadow docket concerning administrative actions.
.
States argue that executive orders and agency actions, such as halting offshore leasing, pausing permitting, and imposing tariffs, lack the necessary reasoned justification and proper procedures required.

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT
******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********
(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/
