A federal judge has blocked a Trump administration attempt to freeze federal funds for 22 states and the District of Columbia, saying it “fundamentally undermines the distinct constitutional roles of each branch of our government.” The administration sought to end congressionally appropriated funding for programs at odds with President Trump’s agenda, prompting a lawsuit by a coalition of the targeted states’ attorneys general. Disaster relief would have been Included in the freeze, and the judge has given the Federal Emergency Management Agency until March 14 “to detail steps it had taken to make funds available.” (New York Times)
Faith-based relief groups made their case for foreign aid in a meeting with administration officials this week. Typically allies of the Trump administration, they “artfully explained the benefits of foreign assistance,” one attendee said, along with the religious imperative to help and the cost to their organizations — World Vision reportedly faces layoffs in the thousands — if aid is not restored. In response, administration officials made clear they seek to transfer the provision of foreign aid to philanthropy and the private sector. (Washington Post)
