A federal judge has temporarily blocked a push from President Donald Trump to pause federal funding while his administration conducts an across-the-board ideological review to uproot progressive initiatives.

The Justice Department argued that the lawsuit by 22 states was moot because the Trump administration recently rescinded its spending memo. The judge disagreed.

A DC federal judge ordered the Trump administration Tuesday to keep distributing trillions in federal assistance, just as a days-long freeze was due to take effect.
