Supreme Court blocks judge's order for Trump administration to release foreign aid, pending further review.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday (February 26, 2025) temporarily blocked a judge’s order giving the U.S. President Trump’s administration a midnight deadline to release billions of dollars in U.S. foreign aid.
Chief Justice John Roberts said the order issued by U.S. District Judge Amir H. Ali will remain on hold until the High Court has a chance to weigh in more fully.
Mr. Ali had ordered the federal government to comply with his decision temporarily blocking a freeze on foreign aid, ruling in a lawsuit filed by nonprofit groups and businesses. An appellate panel refused the administration’s request to intervene.
The Federal Government froze foreign assistance after an executive order from Mr. Trump targeting what he called wasteful programs that do not correspond to his foreign policy goals.
