Trump Defies Court Orders, Keeps Freezing Federal Funds

The is outright ignoring multiple court orders and continuing to block federal funding, putting critical services and programs at risk across the country. Despite judges ruling against Trump’s funding freeze, agencies are still finding ways to delay or deny money has already approved.

U.S. District Judge John McConnell ruled that Trump’s actions are likely unconstitutional and ordered the government to restore funding immediately. But the administration is still stalling, using loopholes and technicalities to keep the funds locked up.

Legal experts say this is more than just cuts. This is Trump testing the limits of presidential power, directly challenging Congress’s authority over federal spending.

Many of the withheld funds are tied to programs Trump opposes, including climate initiatives and diversity programs. At a time when communities rely on these resources, the administration is playing with people’s livelihoods.

The fight isn’t over. But one thing is clear: Trump isn’t backing down.
