Second federal judge orders temporary pause to Trump administration efforts to freeze funding

Associated Press  

BOSTON — A second federal judge on Friday ordered a temporary pause in Trump administration efforts to freeze federal funding in the latest twist over the spending of trillions of dollars in grants and loans. McConnell ordered the federal government not to “pause, freeze, impede, block, cancel, or terminate” funding promised to the states while the temporary restraining order is in place. “My office will keep fighting to protect Massachusetts residents from these egregious and unlawful abuses of power.” Rhode Island Attorney General Neronha said he appreciated the fact McConnell saw the “irreparable harm that this directive would cause, and frankly has already caused, Americans across the country.” “Make no mistake: this federal funding pause was implemented to inspire fear and chaos, and it was successful in that respect,” Neronha said in a statement. “These tactics are intended to wear us down, but with each legal victory we reaffirm that these significant and unlawful disruptions won’t be tolerated, and will certainly be met with swift and immediate action now and in the future.” The federal government had opposed the order, arguing there was no basis for what they described as “sweeping relief.” The decision from McConnell, who is based in Rhode Island and was appointed by former President Barack Obama, comes despite the Office of Management and Budget rescinding a memo outlining a sweeping pause on federal loans and grants.
