Federal agencies, states and other organizations that receive money from the federal government should continue to receive funds following a court order to pause a new Trump administration plan to halt federal payments for grants and programs.
The administration proposal had caused widespread confusion. The group Democracy Forward, which led a legal challenge to the policy, says a U.S. District Court judge in Washington, D.C., granted a request to pause the order.
"This is a sigh of relief for millions of people who have been in limbo over the last twenty-four hours as the result of the Trump Administration's callous attempt to wholesale shutter federal assistance and grant programs that people across this country rely on," Skye Perryman, Democracy Forward's president and CEO, said in a statement Tuesday.
The legal challenge included the groups the National Council of Nonprofits, the American Public Health Association, Main Street Alliance and SAGE. The judge's pause on the order is in effect until Monday, Feb. 3.
