Federal Judge Temporarily Halts Trump’s Radical Plan to Freeze Federal Grants and Loans

News

A federal judge in Washington, D.C., has temporarily halted President Trump’s radical plan to freeze trillions of dollars in federal grants and loans, even though the money has already been appropriated by Congress. U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan said Tuesday she would decide by next week whether to make the injunction permanent. The ruling came after several nonprofits and attorneys general from 22 states filed lawsuits arguing the order would have a devastating impact on hundreds of thousands of recipients who rely on federal grants and loans for their operations. At the White House, newly minted Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended Trump’s unprecedented actions.
