Just before the Trump-Vance administration's federal funding freeze was set to go live, it was blocked by US District Judge Loren AliKhan. The federal court order prevents the White House from pausing funds that were already scheduled to be disbursed but allows the administration to freeze new funding.

One day after the White House announced a temporary pause on federal loans and grants, it rescinded the freeze.

Several executive orders Trump signed last week pause or end some federal funding. Those executive orders, which remain in place, include the freezing of foreign aid, all funds to federal grantees who received money for DEI-related purposes and all funds appropriated through the Inflation Reduction Act.

A U.S. judge on Monday extended a pause on the Trump administration's plan to freeze federal loans, grants and other financial assistance, saying it may have "run roughshod" over Congress's constitutional authority over government spending.

A federal judge on Monday extended an order blocking the Trump administration from enforcing a sweeping freeze on federal grants, rejecting arguments from the Justice Department that the case had become moot following the withdrawal of an Office of Management and Budget (OMB) directive.

A federal judge on Monday ordered the Trump administration to temporarily stop its freeze on federal assistance, allowing aid to continue flowing to nonprofit organizations and other entities after the funding was targeted by the White House budget office last week.
