Excerpt:
The federal judge who halted President Donald Trump’s sweeping freeze on government spending is doubling down on her initial ruling.
Judge Loren AliKhan of Washington D.C. issued a temporary restraining order after non-profit groups complained that they still can’t access funding.
The complaints emerged even after the Trump administration had lifted the spending freeze.
Judge AliKhan, a Biden appointee, wrote:
“For many, the harms caused by the freeze are non-speculative, impending, and potentially catastrophic.”
At a Monday hearing, AliKhan heard from the Justice Department and lawyers representing a group of non-profit organizations that depend on federal funding.
Those groups say they are still having trouble accessing federal money.
