A federal judge has given the Trump administration less than two days to release billions of dollars in U.S. foreign aid.

Summary

A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to release billions of dollars in blocked foreign aid within 48 hours, citing noncompliance with a 13-day-old court order.

The freeze, imposed by Trump’s Jan. 20 executive order, halted funding for USAID and State Department programs, affecting hundreds of millions of dollars owed to nonprofits and businesses.

The cutoff forced tens of thousands of layoffs and jeopardized critical aid projects. Despite the Feb. 13 ruling, no payments resumed.

This follows another case where a judge found the administration failed to unfreeze trillions in domestic grants and loans.

        We’ll see. Congress and the majority of the Executive Branch seem to be goose stepping right along with Trump. The Supreme Court is iffy.

        As for the accusation of trolling, you can fuck off. That was a serious question. On the off chance you haven’t been paying attention, there’s serious concern that the loyalty of most of our government may be to Trump and not to the Constitution.
