Some top Trump administration officials, fresh off securing major judicial wins in their fight against President Joe Biden's legislative agenda, are preparing a new collection of legal challenges to launch at the new president, this time concentrating on the administration's energy and environmental permitting policies.

America First Legal, the litigation outfit launched by a top Trump White House adviser Stephen Miller that claims former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows on its board of directors, forced Biden's Small Business Administration on Monday to stop a pandemic relief program that "unconstitutionally" excluded some applicants on the basis of race, Meadows explained in an interview outlining the group's plans.

AFL has one very public, very specific goal: stall or outright rollback Biden's policies through judicial means. And Meadows announced that he and Miller "talk, probably a half-dozen times a week" about which of Biden's policies are ripe for court challenges.

"Every time there is a headline, or lurch to the left, that we're seeing coming out of the Biden administration, we're on the phone within hours, looking at how we make sure that it is fair to all," the former North Carolina congressman continued.

"We've also pushed out looking at a number of items where we look at, at some of the COVID-related administrative policies that are coming and the injustice of some of that as it relates to higher learning and universities — what they're requiring individuals to do, whether it be mass mandates or vaccinations," Meadows went on. "We also are looking at some of the environmental and energy issues, so we've been working with the attorneys general in both Florida and Louisiana on some of the energy issues, as well as Texas public policy and Ken Paxton in Texas."

Though did not elaborate on the specifics to avoid providing the Biden administration a chance to prepare for their legal challenges, he said to expect to "start to see additional actions" on "the issues that pop up with permitting" in the near future.

Since leaving government in January, Meadows has been working full time at the Conservative Partnership Institute to help coordinate and streamline the many conservative groups begun by former Trump officials, including AFL, the Center for Renewing America, and American Moment.

The groups themselves vary drastically in both scale and focus, and Meadows stressed that the relatively small AFL, which only employs a handful of operatives, can be "very, very agile" in responding to Biden's policies.

"I think probably the thing that makes us most effective is that we don't have this huge behemoth that has to take months to turn around, that we file lawsuits immediately," he continued.
