Indian-American Judge Faces Racist MAGA Attacks After Blocking Trump Funding Freeze

• Federal Judge Arun Subramanian blocked a Trump administration freeze of nearly $10 billion in federal funding for child care and social services in five Democratic-led states.
• The funding freeze was justified by the administration citing alleged large-scale fraud, particularly in Minnesota's child care subsidy programs.
• Subramanian's temporary restraining order cited 'good cause' for emergency relief, likelihood of success on merits, and risk of irreparable harm to vulnerable families.
• The ruling sparked intense online backlash from MAGA supporters, labeling Subramanian a 'Biden appointee' and 'DEI hire,' with xenophobic attacks and calls for deportation.
• Other Indian-American judges, including Amit Mehta, Vince Chhabria, and Indira Talwani, have also faced similar criticism for rulings against Trump policies.
