A federal judge ruled that the Trump administration has not complied in full with a previous order that halted the freezing of foreign assistance grants and contracts.
U.S. District Court Judge Amir Ali issued a seven-page order Thursday saying President Donald Trump’s administration must abide by a court order to unfreeze foreign aid funding. He said his Feb. 13 restraining order was “clear” and warned officials at the U.S. Agency for International Development and the State Department not to attempt to use other labels or directives to avoid the court’s order.
“The Court was not inviting Defendants to continue the suspension while they reviewed contracts and legal authorities to come up with a new, post-hoc rationalization for the en masse suspension,” Ali wrote.
“To the extent Defendants have continued the blanket suspension, they are ordered to immediately cease it,” he continued.
Ali said the Trump administration has not yet provided the court with evidence to challenge the charge that its overall suspension of foreign aid will cause irreparable harm. He added that they had also not provided evidence that they had fully explored the implications that the freeze could have on interests that rely on the aid.
He said the order “does not permit Defendants to simply continue their blanket suspension of congressionally appropriated foreign aid pending a review of the agreements for whether they should be continued or terminated. That is the very action that the Court temporarily enjoined.”

So, come and enforce it.
Judge Amir Ali.
I think I see the problem here.
A Canadian moslem has no say over the President’s decision on foreign aid.
Another foreign-born, “refugee” black-robed stooge who wants America to resemble the crap hole his family crawled out of. This bum shouldn’t be “judging” Americans.
So? The judge hasn’t complied with the Executive branch having exclusive jurisdiction over foreign affairs.
Yup, pretty much, come and enforce it.
You said it better than I did below.
What’s your point, judgie-poo?
The judge can buy a wire brush and go........himself with it.
What if the restraining order is impeding a fraud investigation, abetting a crime?
Is it not common practice to suspend a payment if there is a reasonable suspicion that fraud is involved?
What is the constitutional basis the judge is using for his ruling?
😭
It’s amazing how many of our judges are foreigners. And there is no requirement that a Supreme Court Judge must be an American either and not an immigrant. One is coming eventually....
Same for our diplomats. A massive number of them are foreign born.
How about NO.
Let it escalate. Trump WILL WIN on appeal.
What’s that quote? Something about “how big an army does the judge have?”
Yes, the little bidenb*tch is a Canadian Musloid.
Whose DOJ and Marshal’s Service will enforce a contempt order?
The judge should just find the President in contempt and refer the matter to the House for impeachment. See how far that gets him.
We can now take a page from Biden’s book. Maybe the judge can get the DOJ to take up the case.
It drives me up a wall. These refugees or their families run like cowards from their own countries, they sneak into America and want to start making America look like the Marxist crapholes they crawled out of.
