The Trump administration must immediately unfreeze all $3 trillion in federal funds, a judge ruled Monday, finding it violated his temporary restraining order by keeping some of the dollars paused.

Blue state attorneys general showed evidence that the administration is still refusing to let funds flow, despite the federal judge’s Jan. 31 order to pause the administration’s plan. The Trump administration must ask McConnell for permission to pause funds in specific cases, the judge said.
