Vaeth\u2019s memo ordered that all federal agencies \u201cmust temporarily pause all activities related to obligation or disbursement of all Federal financial assistance, and other relevant agency activities that may be implicated by the executive orders, including, but not limited to, financial assistance for foreign aid, nongovernmental organizations, DEI, woke gender ideology, and the green new deal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The memo swiftly drew a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/storage.courtlistener.com\/recap\/gov.uscourts.dcd.276842\/gov.uscourts.dcd.276842.1.0_1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">legal challenge<\/a>&nbsp;filed by several nonprofit groups,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/live\/2025\/01\/28\/us\/trump-news-executive-orders\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">arguing<\/a>&nbsp;that it violated both the First Amendment and federal law on how executive orders can be implemented, and the plaintiffs secured an emergency hearing that took place just minutes before the funding freeze was set to go into effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>US District Judge\u00a0Loren L. AliKhan\u00a0issued a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/politics\/live-news\/trump-presidency-news-federal-grants-01-28-25#cm6h0e5kn001i3b6mwh1w0bqd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ruling<\/a>\u00a0imposing a temporary hold, saying it would be \u201ca way of preserving the status quo\u201d and give the court time to consider the challenge more fully and issue a permanent ruling by Feb. 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This administrative stay was \u201creally for the court\u2019s benefit,\u201d said the judge. \u201cIt\u2019s really for the court to have full briefing\u201d and properly consider the arguments from the plaintiffs and the Trump administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The funding that appeared to be affected by the memo involved \u201cprograms that affect people\u2019s lives,\u201d said CNN reporter JeffZeleny, including Head Start, Meals on Wheels, and various Medicaid programs. The White House had insisted there would be no pause on spending that affected people directly, but there was still \u201cso much confusion,\u201d he added, and multiple states reported their Medicaid website portals \u2014 the way people get Medicaid reimbursements \u2014 were \u201csimply not working.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>This order paused the funding freeze until next Monday, Feb. 3, Zeleny concluded, \u201cand then there will be more court cases to come, obviously.
