Chief Justice John Roberts has temporarily halted a court-imposed midnight deadline that would have required the Trump administration to release $2 billion in frozen foreign aid. The emergency appeal, the first of its kind under President Trump's administration, has brought the federal government's restructuring efforts to the nation's highest court.
Roberts' order, known as an 'administrative stay,' allows the Supreme Court time to review written arguments in the case. The case involves billions of dollars in foreign aid frozen by Trump in January to align federal spending with his policy positions.
