Federal judges across the country on Tuesday blocked key Trump administration policies, issuing rulings that challenge executive actions on federal funding, foreign aid, and refugee admissions.
In Washington, D.C., a federal judge appointed by former President Biden indefinitely halted a directive seeking to freeze trillions in federal grants and loans, citing its sweeping impact.
Also on Tuesday in Seattle, another Biden-appointed judge blocked Trump’s executive order suspending refugee admissions, arguing it exceeded presidential authority and contradicted congressional mandates.
The administration also faced legal setbacks on foreign aid, with an Obama-appointed judge ordering the State Department and USAID to comply with a previous restraining order and pay outstanding invoices to contractors.
Here’s a list of current court cases facing the Trump administration.
