A second federal judge has ordered a temporary pause in Trump administration efforts to freeze federal funding in the latest twist over the spending of trillions of dollars in grants and loans.

McConnell ordered the federal government not to “pause, freeze, impede, block, cancel, or terminate” funding promised to the states while the temporary restraining order is in place. “Make no mistake: this federal funding pause was implemented to inspire fear and chaos, and it was successful in that respect,” Neronha said in a statement."These tactics are intended to wear us down, but with each legal victory we reaffirm that these significant and unlawful disruptions won’t be tolerated, and will certainly be met with swift and immediate action now and in the future.”
The Republican president wants to increase fossil fuel production, remove protections for transgender people and end diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.Administration officials said the pause was necessary to review whether spending aligned with Trump’s executive orders on issues like climate change and diversity, equity and inclusion programs. But two days later, they sent out a two-sentence notice rescinding the original memo.
In their motion, lawyers for Trump’s Justice Department argued the federal court lacked jurisdiction and the plaintiffs couldn’t use an order that was aimed initially against the OMB memo to seek broader action against Trump's executive orders.
