U.S. District Judge John McConnell Jr., a federal judge in Rhode Island, has ruled to extend a block on the Trump administration’s funding freeze on federal grants and other congressionally approved government programs.
Thursday’s preliminary injunction is the second by a federal court blocking the spending freeze. The order marks a victory for the National Council of Nonprofits and their partners at Democracy Forward who represent organizations from 22 states and the District of Columbia, who filed suit against the Trump administration over its efforts to pause trillions of dollars in government spending in order to evaluate whether those programs aligned with President Trump’s policy goals.
