Court Blocks Trump's Billions Freeze, Upholds Aid for Millions
•US Court of Appeals rejected the Trump administration's attempt to halt billions in government funding, questioning the government's power.
•The court criticized the administration for not considering the impact on millions of people, states, and institutions dependent on the aid.
•The case stemmed from an early 2025 order by the Trump government to temporarily halt funding for several schemes, potentially affecting $3 trillion.
•23 states and Washington D.C. challenged the decision, leading the court to rule that stopping funds without individual examination was not legal.
•While upholding the lower court's decision, the court noted states must pursue separate legal paths for funds, indicating their demands weren't fully met.
