Federal judge blocks Trump pause on trillions in grants, loans

2025-01-29

[NYPOST] A DC federal judge ordered the Trump administration Tuesday to keep distributing trillions in federal assistance, just as a days-long freeze was due to take effect at close of business.

US District Judge Loren AliKhan

… Loren Linn AliKhan was appointed to the bench by President Biden at the end of 2023. This is the first notable thing she has done since then…

issued the temporary restraining order in response to an appeal by a coalition of nonprofit groups almost exactly 24 hours after acting Office of Management and Budget Director Matthew Vaeth ordered agencies to ''temporarily pause all activities related to obligation or disbursement of all Federal financial assistance.''

The Vaeth memo further admonished agency heads to ''identify and review all Federal financial assistance programs and supporting activities consistent with the President's policies and requirements.''

Lawyers for Democracy Forward represented the National Council of Nonprofits, the American Public Health Association, Main Street Alliance and the LGBTQ nonprofit SAGE in filing the suit to block the funding freeze.
