Federal judge temporarily blocks Trump administration freeze on federal grants and loans
- A federal judge has temporarily blocked a Trump administration freeze on federal grants and loans, which could total trillions of dollars, just before it was set to go into effect on Tuesday afternoon.
- The freeze sparked panic among organizations reliant on federal funding, as U.S. District Judge Loren L. AliKhan stated, "It seems like the federal government currently doesn’t actually know the full extent of the programs that are going to be subject to the pause."
- Administration officials claimed that direct assistance programs like Medicare and Social Security would not be affected, while organizations like Meals on Wheels expressed concern over potential funding cuts.
- Democrats criticized the funding pause as reckless and illegal, with Senator Patty Murray stating, "There is no question this policy is reckless, dangerous, illegal and unconstitutional.
