Judge orders Trump administration to temporarily allow foreign aid

ABC  

A federal judge has ordered Donald Trump's US administration to pause its funding freeze on the US Agency for International Development which has shut down American development work worldwide. Judge says no explanation for 'blanket suspension' Judge Amir Ali issued the temporary order on Thursday local time in a lawsuit brought by two organisations, the AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition and the Global Health Council, representing health organisations receiving US funds for work abroad. In his order, Judge Ali noted that the Trump administration argued it had to shut down funding for the thousands of USAID aid programs abroad to conduct a thorough review of each program and whether it should be eliminated. Judge Ali also rejected the Trump administration’s argument that it was buffering the impact of the funding freeze, offering waivers to allow funding to keep flowing to some aid partners.
