Summary
The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the Trump administration's attempt to halt a lower court's order that temporarily lifted a federal funding freeze. The court stated the administration provided insufficient evidence of harm. U.S. District Judge John McConnell had previously found that the administration failed to comply with his order to restore funding, prompting a lawsuit by 22 Democratic state attorneys general. Trump officials criticized the ruling, claiming it impedes the president's lawful authority. The court has allowed for further arguments from both sides regarding the administration's request for a suspension of the ruling.
