Summary

A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to release billions of dollars in blocked foreign aid within 48 hours, citing noncompliance with a 13-day-old court order.

The freeze, imposed by Trump’s Jan. 20 executive order, halted funding for USAID and State Department programs, affecting hundreds of millions of dollars owed to nonprofits and businesses.

The cutoff forced tens of thousands of layoffs and jeopardized critical aid projects. Despite the Feb. 13 ruling, no payments resumed.

This follows another case where a judge found the administration failed to unfreeze trillions in domestic grants and loans.

    sure they won’t, then the marshals will arrest them for impediment the law.

    then we’ll truly and publicly be in a constitutional crisis.

    no one is above the law, NO ONE.

      In theory. In practice, it seems that certain people are, in fact, above the law.

        It needs to be made so.

        Call your representatives and literally yell at them for not doing more on Trump.
