The US judge temporarily stopped the command of President Donald Trump to freeze hundreds of billions of dollars of federal grand and loans, a few minutes before he entered into force on Tuesday.
Judge Loren Alikhan’s command to pause the plan until next Monday at 5:00 pm (22:00 GMT) came in response to a lawsuit previously filed by a group of organizations representing grants recipients during the day.
The lawsuit is claimed that temporary freezing already approved financing of the White House violates the law.
In hours before the order was supposed to enter into force, there was a widespread confusion about which agencies and programs would influence.
The head of the Budget Budget Budget Budget of the Budget of the Budget of the Budget of the Agency to “temporarily stop all activities related to liabilities or payment of all federal financial assistance.”
It said the move is intended for a new administration time to evaluate the scholarships and loans in step with their daily order.
Caroline Leavitt White House secretary said Trump’s plan to stop $ billions in financing the US government regarding “good tax dollar managers.”
In an interview with journalists in her first briefing, she said that a break in financing will allow governments to reduce consumption for “awakened” gender problems and diversity programs.
But it encouraged confusion, as well as anger from opposition figures, on Tuesday, as well as those receiving federal loans and scholarships – such as non -profit and research organizations – they counted with a reality of a quick loss of funds.
On Tuesday, Judge Alikhan said she had issued a short stay that would “preserve the status quo” until she could withstand an oral altercation, now set on Monday morning.
The White House Directive could have influenced billions of dollars intended for federal programs, from relief from catastrophe to cancer research.
In the post on X, Diane Yentel, president of the National Council of Non -Profit Organizations, the organization who initiated a lawsuit, celebrated the verdict.
“Our lawsuit was successful – the US District Court blocks the OMB (Office for Management and Budget) to move forward to its reckless plan to stop federal funding,” she wrote.
In the lawsuit, her organization wrote that Trump’s command seeks to “eradicate basically all federal grand programs”.
He claims that Trump’s command is “deprived of any legal basis or the brightest explanation” and will have fire effects throughout the United States and beyond.
This is separate from the action of the Democratic State coalition, which later filed a lawsuit on Tuesday to block the command, calling it unconstitutional.
Stephen Miller, Deputy Chief of the White House Headquarters, also defended the directive before the judge’s decision was announced, telling the reporters that it would allow the Government to receive “credit control”.
“It does not affect any federal programs that Americans rely on,” he said, answering the question of whether he would influence the food delivery program “Shot Meals”.
On Tuesday, several countries applied questions that joined the funds through Medicaid, a state health insurance program for people with low revenues. The White House later said the program would not influence and that the problem would be solved soon.
He also said that social security benefits would not affect, nor would “any program” that provides individuals directly “, including additional nutritional assistance, known as snap or food brands.
In a letter to the White House, top democrats expressed a “extreme alarm” because of a plan to stop funding.
“The circumference of what you order is breathtaking, unprecedented and will have devastating consequences throughout the country,” wrote the Senator of Washington Patty Murray and the Congress wife Connecticut Rosa Delauro.
The leader of the Democratic Minority of the American Senate, Chuck Schumer, said that the move would cause missed wages and payments of rent and cause “chaos”.
