A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order requiring the Trump administration to release funds for federal contracts that were previously frozen. The hearing exposed frustrations with the Department of Justice's inability to justify the legality of the freeze, prompting strong words from Judge Amir Ali. He expressed dissatisfaction with DOJ lawyers' lack of information and highlighted the need to adhere to the court's decision. If the White House fails to comply with the order, it risks creating a constitutional crisis, indicating serious implications for the balance of power.
If President Donald Trump decides not to comply with the order by U.S. District Judge Amir Ali, it could spark a constitutional crisis.
The purpose of this hearing is to understand and to hear arguments on the motion to enforce TRO. It is not an opportunity to re-litigate the TRO.
