A federal judge indicated on Monday that she is likely to extend a block on the Trump administration's freeze on federal grants and loans. US District Judge Loren AliKhan announced her intention to issue a temporary restraining order against any freeze on federal funds by 5 p.m. ET Monday, which is when a previous block she issued was set to expire. The new order is expected to last for 14 days.
This latest development follows a series of similar blocks issued by federal courts in recent days. A judge in Rhode Island also blocked the administration on Friday from freezing aid in a case brought by a group of Democratic state attorneys general.
