U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan temporarily halted President Donald Trump's plan to freeze federal grants and loans.

In a significant legal intervention, a federal judge has halted the Trump administration's attempt to freeze over 2,000 federally funded programs, including SNAP and Medicaid, which are vital for low-income families.

A judge in Washington, D.C., sided with plaintiffs who claimed the White House’s freezing of billions of dollars in congressionally-approved funding violated the law.
