Judge sets a 5-day deadline for the Trump administration to start lifting its USAID funding freeze

2 years ago by MicroWave to c/news

A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to temporarily lift a funding freeze shutting down U.S. humanitarian aid and development worldwide.

Summary

A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to temporarily lift its freeze on USAID funding, giving it five days to show compliance.

The ruling highlights the financial harm to nonprofits and suppliers due to the abrupt funding halt, which has disrupted global aid programs.

The judge criticized the administration’s lack of justification for the freeze and barred officials from enforcing stop-work orders.

The decision follows lawsuits from aid groups and contractors, with further legal challenges expected against USAID’s dismantling under Trump and Elon Musk.

The judge will personally whoop his ass with the gavel in a no holds barred cage match at the whitehouse?
