The city of Philadelphia filed a lawsuit against the administration concerning the removal of the exhibit on slavery. The city has standing to do this because the exhibit was a collaborative effort and agreements to consult on any changes. Assistant U.S. Attorney Gregory in den Berken said, “Although many people feel strongly about this (exhibit) one way, other people may disagree or feel strongly another way. . . Ultimately, the government gets to choose the message it wants to convey.” Judge Cynthia Rufe called this argument "dangerous" and "horrifying."
