Federal judge temporarily blocks Trump's funding freeze
A federal judge ordered a temporary halt to the Trump administration’s sweeping directive to pause federal loans, grants and other financial assistance, Reuters reports.

US district judge Loren AliKhan ordered the Trump administration not to implement the block on funding to existing programs, which was to have started on Tuesday at 5pm ET, until 3 February at a hearing in Washington DC federal court.

Diane Yentel, the president of the National Council of Nonprofits, which brought the emergency lawsuit, celebrated the temporary victory in a post on X, writing: “We did it (for now)! Our lawsuit was successful – the US district court is blocking OMB from moving forward on its reckless plan to halt federal funding. The stay is until Monday, so still much more to do.”
