A federal court has granted a motion by Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings and a coalition of 22 other attorneys general to block a Trump administration policy that would have frozen federal grants, loans, and assistance programs. The policy, issued by the Office of Management and Budget on Jan. 27, sought to indefinitely pause funding for health care, education, law enforcement, disaster relief, and infrastructure. Despite attempted rescindment by the administration, disruptions continued, including frozen Medicaid funds and halted Head Start program funding. The court ruled that the President overstepped executive authority by imposing new conditions on funding already approved by Congress, ensuring that essential federal funds remain available for critical programs. Attorney General Kathy Jennings emphasized the importance of these funds for health care, housing, public safety, transportation, and more, stating that threatening to freeze trillions of dollars was indifferent to millions of people’s lives. The lawsuit argued that the policy violated the U.S. Constitution and federal law and was joined by attorneys general from 22 other states and the District of Columbia.
