Judge in D.C. Extends Block on Trump Funding Freeze

A judge in the nation's capital kept a temporary block on a Trump administration plan for a freeze on federal funding Monday after some nonprofit groups said they're still struggling to get promised grants and loans.
U.S. District Judge Loren L. AliKhan extended an order she issued last week that paused a sweeping plan to freeze potentially trillions in federal spending. While the memo outlining it has since been rescinded, the Republican administration has said some kind of funding freeze is still planned as part of his blitz of executive orders.
A second judge in Rhode Island has also blocked any federal spending pause in a separate lawsuit filed by nearly two dozen Democrat states.
In the Washington lawsuit, several groups reported being unable to access promised federal funding even after the memo was rescinded. They ranged from childcare in Wisconsin to disability services in West Virginia to a small business research project on neutron generation and detection.
“For many, the harms caused by the freeze are non-speculative, impending, and potentially catastrophic,” AliKhan wrote
The Trump administration argues a brief pause in funding to align federal spending with the president's agenda is within the law, and the court lacks constitutional authority to block it. President Donald Trump’s executive orders have sought to increase fossil fuel production, remove protections for transgender people and end diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.
AliKhan though, found that “furthering the President’s wishes cannot be a blank check for OMB to do as it pleases,” she wrote, referring to the Office of Management and Budget, the White House office that doles out federal money.
Lawyers with the advocacy group Democracy Forward are representing the nonprofits. They say the sweeping funding pause breaks federal law, puts nonprofits at risk of shuttering and violates their First Amendment rights.
Texas Governor OKs Natl Guard to Arrest Immigrants

Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott on Sunday granted sweeping new powers to the state's National Guard to carry out immigration arrests under an agreement with the Trump administration.
"Effective immediately. This boosts man power for border security," he said on X.
A memorandum of understanding released by Abbott's office said Texas troops must be accompanied by a Customs and Border Protection officer when enforcing immigration policies, and notes that the state will pay for all costs tied to the collaboration.
The Department of Homeland Security last month authorized law enforcement agents from across the federal government to take part in "investigating, determining the location of, and apprehending" undocumented migrants.
The Trump administration arrested over 7,400 illegal immigrants in the U.S. during a nine-day span in January, part of the president's actions to crack down on illegal immigration.
Ramiro Luna of Somos Tejas, a Dallas-based nonprofit focused on Latino civic engagement, told the Texas Tribune there's a lot of "fear going on" amid the deportations.
"Our community feels threatened, and while we're doing our best to provide information and peace of mind, it's incredibly difficult. People are afraid to come to any gathering — even to get basic necessities."
SECONDED!
Anybody have the Alice in Wonderland book cover with the Trump pocket watch?
