A federal appeals court has rejected an emergency appeal from the Trump administration aimed at freezing a lower court's ruling that mandates the release of billions in federal grants and loans. This ruling, made by U.S. District Court Judge John McConnell, follows a lawsuit from Democratic states claiming the administration's earlier memo halting funding caused turmoil nationwide. Judge McConnell noted that not all funding had been restored and barred cuts to crucial programs. The Justice Department branded the court's order as judicial overreach, but the appeal was denied as further review continues.
The Justice Department argued that the sweeping lower court order to keep all federal grants and loans flowing was 'intolerable judicial overreach.'
