Summary
A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to reinstate funding for foreign aid programs after nonprofits challenged a 90-day funding freeze.
Judge Amir Ali ruled that suspending all congressionally approved aid without justification likely violated the law, citing “irreparable harm” to affected organizations.
The freeze had halted 230 USAID grants, shuttered small businesses, and left aid supplies stranded.
The White House argues the pause ensures funds align with its foreign policy. Another judge separately blocked USAID employee layoffs and mission closures.
I’m afraid you will run out of sources soon because every media outlet in the U.S. will have to kowtow to Trump demands if they want to stay in business. Even the foreign ones with U.S. bureaus.
