A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore hundreds of millions of dollars in funding for U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) projects, citing the irreparable harm to aid organizations affected by funding cuts. The government has appealed the ruling, arguing it has the right to withhold funds while reviewing grants. However, the judge expressed frustration over the lack of compliance and transparency from the administration, highlighting that the failure to follow court orders is jeopardizing the welfare of vulnerable populations worldwide.
The Trump administration is not above the law. Its failure to abide by the rule of law and reinstate humanitarian funding, as ordered by Judge Ali, is causing even more chaos and putting the lives of millions of the world's poorest and most marginalized people in further jeopardy.
I don't know why I can't get a straight answer from you," said Ali, who has grown increasingly impatient with the government. The funding cut-off is doing irreparable harm, as organizations are having to lay off staff and halt projects.
