Question Presented (from Petition)

Whether a plaintiff who suffers ongoing harm caused by a state official's prior unlawful conduct is subject to an "ongoing violation" of federal law, and so able to seek an injunction under Ex parte Young—as multiple courts of appeals have held—or whether Ex parte Young's "ongoing violation" requirement demands that a plaintiff show that the state official's continuing actions are independently unlawful, as the Second Circuit held below.
