A federal judge Is temporarily blocked A step to stop dollar trillions in federal loans, grants and other financial aid by US President Donald Trump, before it was due to being effective.
The managing head of Trump’s management and budget (OMB), Matthew Vath, had previously directed all federal agencies to “temporarily stop all federal financial assistance or all activities related to consolidation” Two pages internal memorandumThe instructions were seen as part of the desire to highlight programs related to Trump’s diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).
Is there currently a break in effect?
The court order prevents the instructions of the Trump administration from being implemented at least next Monday, 3 February.
US District Judge Lauren Alkhan gave a temporary stop after the argument of several advocacy groups, as the freeze would destroy programs ranging from healthcare to road construction.
Federal grants and loans arrive in almost every corner of Americans, with hundreds of billions of billions of dollars of education, healthcare and anti-poverty programs, housing assistance, disaster relief, infrastructure and other initiatives.
Non-profit, businesses and other people are expected to move forward with a case that argues that the Trump policy is unconstitutional in a combined non-profit fields called Democracy Forward.
The court will reconsider the issue again on Monday.
What did the memo say?
The White House issued a directive in a circular memorandum as part of a cross-board ideological review of its expenses.
It is written in the memo, “Marxist equity, transgenderism and green deals use federal resources to carry forward social engineering policies are a waste of the dollar that does not improve the day-to-day life of those who do not improve the day-to-day life that we serve Are.”
The memo was found with widespread confusion in Washington, where civil servants fought to understand its full boundary and application.
How did Washington respond?
The White House did not immediately comment on the court order. It has been said that federal aid programs were needed to freeze to align with the priorities of the Republican President, including executive orders to end diversity, equity and inclusive efforts.
Democrats called Trump’s instruction “unprecedented” and “disastrous”, Chak Shumar, with Democratic Senate leader, it is “a dagger in the heart of average American families, in red states and blue states, in cities and suburbs” Has described in Rural areas”.
The US constitution gives control of the Congress on affairs, but Trump said during his campaign that he believes that the President has the power to withdraw money for the programs he dislikes.
Even before the policy is effective, it has created widespread disruption in the social provision in education, housing and healthcare, and millions of people are afraid that they will lose their jobs and reach healthcare and other services.
Despite the court-order stagnation, reimbursement portals for Medicid, the biggest program providing medical and health services to low-income people, Was below Tuesday. White House press secretary Karolin Lewit said on X that the government was aware of the Medicade Portal Outage and no payment was affected.
If legal challenges against Trump instructions fail, then everything is expected to be affected by cancer research, food aid, suicide hotline, community health, universities, federal student aids (FAFSA) and non-profit sector.
