Agriculture Secretary Rollins Announces New USDA Lawfare Portal

May 5, 2025

Following the Maude Family case that was dropped last week, Secretary Rollins announced a new USDA portal focused on helping the victims of lawfare persecuted by the Biden administration. Through this portal ranchers can submit cases or experiences where the law was wrongfully used to prosecute or negatively impact their business.

The new USDA lawfare complaint portal is active and receiving submissions; submitters are asked to give a brief description of the case and are encouraged (but not required) to provide their contact information should the USDA seek further contact.

Organizations like the Public Lands Council applaud Secretary Rollins for standing with ranchers and writing the wrongs that lawfare from the previous administration have caused.

To submit a complaint or to learn more about the USDA lawfare complaint form, follow the link here.
