Latest Trump highlights you need to know: Funding freeze to Laken Riley Act | Donald Trump News

A federal judge in the United States temporarily prevented President Donald Trump’s order to suspend hundreds of billions of dollars in federal grants and loans just minutes before its date on Tuesday.

Judge Lauren Alejhan of the US District Court in Washington, DC, spent the plan to delay until 5 pm (22:00 GMT) on Monday.

Here is what we know about the legal battle on the matter and other major developments through the past 24 hours of Trump’s fast presidency.

What is the freezing of financing?

Request to freeze the financing, which was identified in a two -page note leaked on Monday evening, from the agencies “temporarily to stop temporarily from all activities related to commitment or exchange of all federal financial assistance” so that officials guarantee that the programs are consistent with Trump’s policies.

“This temporary stop will provide the time of management to review the agency’s programs and determine the best financing uses for these programs in line with the law and the priorities of the president.”

Sub -memorandum programs related to external aid; Diversity, Equity and Integration Programs (Dei); Care of transgender and combat climate change.

The matter is not clear in ScopeTherefore, it has created a wide -ranging confusion about agencies and programs that will be affected. Non -profit groups challenge this as well.

What is the judge’s ruling?

Alejhan issued a temporary stop in the short term, and to prevent management from freezing money. Alejhan said that temporary suspension helps to “maintain the current situation” while reviewing a legal challenge brought by a group of non -profit organizations.

Foreign Minister Marco Rubio allowed the waiver to still use external aid to “save life” for humanitarian assistance while other review programs are suspended.

Some legal experts have suggested that blocking financing could violate the US constitution, which gives Congress “the authority of the portfolio” – the power to allocate government spending and determine the financing of the program.

Why does the Trump administration take this measure?

Administration officials said the decision was necessary to align spending with the last Trump wave of executive orders.

The president aims to enhance the production of fossil fuels, the decline in protection for transgender individuals, and to eliminate the initiatives of diversity, fairness and inclusion. Trump also suspended foreign aid to all countries other than Israel and Egypt.

What did Trump said?

As a presidential candidate in 2024, Trump said: “I will use the strength of the long -recognized president to pressure the enlarged federal bureaucracy for huge savings.”

The 1974 reservation law allows the president to temporarily possess funds under specific circumstances and limited periods. It also requires the president to notify Congress. The Congress then determines whether the delay will be approved or the spending is canceled.

However, according to Tom Cartraret, who monitors the deportations by the American ICE and Customs Agency (ICE) to see the Da`wah group at the border, ice deportations remain at exemplary levels from Monday.
