The Supreme Court recently denied the government's attempt to appeal a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) preventing it from pausing foreign development assistance funds. Following the issuance of the TRO, the District Court mandated payments be made for completed work by a specific deadline. The government sought to vacate this order, but the Chief Justice granted a brief administrative stay before ultimately denying the application. The Court's decision highlights the importance of the District Court's authority in clarifying compliance obligations regarding the TRO, amid dissent from Alito and others who favored the government's position.
The language denying the stay is circumspect, indicating the Court's cautious stance amid ongoing preliminary injunction proceedings regarding foreign development assistance funds.
The SCOTUS order emphasizes the District Court's role in determining the Government's obligations, signifying a clear rejection of the government's attempts to evade compliance with the restraining order.
