=== Lawsuit versus U.S. Army Corp of Engineers ===
In 2025, Soka Gakkai International-USA filed a lawsuit attempting to stop an Army Corp of Engineers construction project which Soka Gakkai claimed would interfere with the group's religious practice at a retreat center in the Florida Everglades.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |last=Fanelli |first=James |date=2025-04-07 |title=Even Buddhists Can't Find Peace in the Florida Everglades |url=https://www.wsj.com/us-news/even-buddhists-cant-find-peace-in-the-florida-everglades-44bc8753?mod=hp_featst_pos4 |access-date=2025-04-08 |website=WSJ |language=en-US}}</ref> The group contends that the Corps' planned 7-story high pump station and water-impounded area would interfere with the serenity of the retreat center, and that the project is unlawful because the Corps allegedly did not study the environmental impact the project would have.<ref name=":2" /> The Corps disputed the group's allegations and stated that the project is crucial to improving the flow of water in the Everglades, and that it has planned a sound barrier and wildlife fencing around the project to mitigate concerns.<ref name=":2" /> In January 2025, a federal Magistrate Judge denied Soka Gakkai's request for a preliminary injunction to halt the project, ruling that the group's claims of harm were too speculative to support a preliminary injunction.<ref name=":2" />
