A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to restore frozen federal funding, ruling that it was not fully complying with a prior court order. U.S. District Judge John McConnell Jr. instructed the administration to “immediately take every step necessary” to enforce his January 31 restraining order. The lawsuit, brought by 22 states and the District of Columbia, challenges the White House's Office of Management and Budget directive pausing funding for programs tied to foreign aid, diversity initiatives, and green energy. The Justice Department has appealed the decision.
