Judge orders Trump administration to temporarily allow funds for foreign aid to flow again

Judge Amir Ali issued the order Thursday in a lawsuit brought by two health organizations that receive U.S. funding for programs abroad.

The ruling was the first to temporarily roll back a Trump administration funding freeze on foreign assistance.

The freeze has forced USAID and State Department contractors around the world to stop providing humanitarian aid and other assistance and lay off staff.

Agency supporters say the shutdown is really about eradicating USAID before lawmakers or the courts could stop it.

The employee groups, Democratic lawmakers and others argue that without congressional approval, Trump lacks the power to shut USAID or end its programs.

His team says the power of courts or lawmakers to stand in the way is limited at best.
