Summary

Three federal judges dealt legal setbacks to Trump’s early second-term controversial policies in a 90-minute span.

In DC, Judge AliKhan indefinitely blocked a federal funding freeze, calling it “irrational, imprudent and precipitated a nationwide crisis.”

Also in DC, Judge Amir Ali ordered the administration to pay pay foreign aid-related money owed to government contractors and nonprofit groups.

In Seattle, Judge Whitehead halted Trump’s executive order suspending refugee admissions, arguing it “amounts to an effective nullification of congressional will.”
