A federal judge in Virginia on Friday temporarily blocked the Trump administration from proceeding with the $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization fund” created by the Justice Department last week.
The two-page order from Judge Leonie M. Brinkema of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia directed the administration not to take any steps to implement the fund while a request for a longer-term block from several individuals and advocacy groups is pending.
