The U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island has issued a temporary restraining order against a policy from the Trump Administration. This policy aimed to block federal agency grants, loans, and other financial assistance programs. The order was granted at the request of 22 states, including Washington.
This decision extends an administrative stay that was previously granted by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The stay was in response to a lawsuit filed by nonprofit groups that rely on federal funds.
