Legal Action Against the White House for Lack of Sign Language Interpreters

The White House faces multiple lawsuits concerning the absence of sign language interpreters at press briefings and other events, with deaf Americans alleging that this violation infringes upon their constitutional rights. This issue has sparked significant outrage as advocates claim the Trump administration is treating the deaf community differently by ending American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation services. The Deaf Association and other plaintiffs are pushing for legal accountability, advocating for improved access to communication in federal government settings.
