“A federal judge on Tuesday temporarily halted President Trump’s effort to temporarily pause federal grant, loan and financial assistance programs. U.S. District Judge Loren L. AliKhan blocked Trump’s order minutes before it was to take effect, with an administrative stay that expires Monday. AliKhan in her order wrote she was issuing a preliminary injunction in order to ‘preserve the status quo while the court considers the merits of the case.’ … The Office of Management and Budget sent a memo to federal agencies Monday night directing them to ‘temporarily pause all activities related to obligation or disbursement of all Federal financial assistance.’ The memo created confusion among federal agencies and state governments, and some states reportedly lost access to a portal used to manage Medicaid spending.” (01/28/25)
