Feb 10 (Reuters) - A U.S. judge on Monday ordered the Trump administration to fully comply with a previous order lifting its broad freeze on federal spending, after a group of 23 Democratic state attorneys general last week said that some funds remained frozen.
U.S. District Judge John McConnell in Providence, Rhode Island, ruled that, opens new tab all funding must be restored at least until he can hold a hearing on the states' motion for a longer-term order.
The Trump administration had told states that it believed the order did not apply to certain environmental and infrastructure spending, and that some payments were delayed for "operational and administrative reasons." However, McConnell said that his order had been "clear and unambiguous" in applying to all funding frozen in response to sweeping executive orders by President Donald Trump.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

If the judge has not constitutional grounds for his ruling, then the ruling should be ignored.

False
Judge orders restoration of freeze ordered by EO. That EO was rescinded. Judge is illegally trying to interfere in the how the Executive Branch manages it duties and should be impeached.

Vice President Vance:
“If a judge tried to tell a general how to conduct a military operation, that would be illegal.
If a judge tried to command the attorney general in how to use her discretion as a prosecutor, that’s also illegal.
Judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power.”
