A U.S. District Court judge has issued a temporary restraining order preventing the Trump administration from freezing federal payments to grants and programs, following a lawsuit by Democratic attorneys general from 22 states and D.C. This ruling comes in light of the Trump administration's confusing communications regarding funding after an Office of Management and Budget memo. The order currently protects federal assistance to the sued states, reinforcing that such funding must continue except under applicable statutes and regulations.
The court's temporary restraining order effectively blocks the Trump administration's plan to freeze federal payments for grants and programs amid widespread confusion.
Judge McConnell emphasized that the Trump administration's own statements indicated their intention to rigorously implement executive orders on federal funding despite the OMB memo's rescindment.
