The DOJ on Thursday argued that a federal judge does not have jurisdiction to block the Trump administration's funding freeze on federal aid. The post ‘No jurisdiction’: DOJ says Trump’s executive orders ‘are not subject to challenge’ in lawsuit over funding freeze on federal aid first appeared on Law & Crime.

Several executive orders Trump signed last week pause or end some federal funding. Those executive orders, which remain in place, include the freezing of foreign aid, all funds to federal grantees who received money for DEI-related purposes and all funds appropriated through the Inflation Reduction Act.

The Trump administration rescinded its controversial memo ordering a freeze on federal aid and grant programs Wednesday but insisted it would still follow through on plans to pause certain types of federal spending.
