The Trump administration's decision to block $2 billion in foreign aid funding has faced a legal challenge. A U.S. District Court initially ruled that nonprofit organizations were entitled to the funds, as per federal law. However, the administration did not comply with the ruling, prompting further legal proceedings. In a recent hearing, Judge Amir Ali questioned the DOJ's failure to act under a temporary restraining order. The Supreme Court has temporarily stayed the lower court's directive, allowing time for both sides to submit briefs and clarify the situation.
"Twelve days into the TRO, you can't give me any facts about funds being unfrozen under the TRO?" Ali said during the hearing.
"The administration filed an emergency appeal to the Supreme Court, after which Chief Justice John Roberts placed an 'administrative stay' on Ali's order."
