A federal judge has temporarily blocked a Trump administration freeze on federal grants and loans.
The funding freeze hat could total trillions of dollars and impact healthcare research, education programs, and other initiatives. However, U.S. District Judge Loren L. AliKhan blocked the action Tuesday afternoon, minutes before it was set to go into effect. The administrative stay pauses the freeze until Monday, as reported by The Associated Press.

The White House had planned to enforce the pause Tuesday as the administration begins an “across-the-board ideological review of its spending.”
The news is just the latest in a series of sweeping acts of change Trump has pushed for since returning to office.
The Trump Administration banned flying any other flags besides the Stars and Stripes at State Department facilities from domestic buildings to foreign embassies and outposts. This “One Flag Policy” means Pride, Black Lives Matter and similar flags can no longer be represented at government facilities across the globe.
