“A federal judge expressed concern Monday that the Trump administration is continuing to implement a blanket freeze on federal spending despite two court orders to pause it during ongoing lawsuits,” Politico reports.
“U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan said some nonprofits continued to be hampered by the freeze and still couldn’t access promised funding, an obstacle she said appeared to be a direct result of the Trump White House’s week-old freeze.
That’s despite AliKhan’s ruling last week, along with another from a federal judge in Rhode Island, blocking the White House from implementing the funding freeze while litigation is pending.”
