A judge has blocked the US Department of Agriculture from withholding tens of billions of dollars in federal funds from states unless they comply with the Trump administration's policies on immigration enforcement, transgender people and other issues.
US District Judge Myong Joun granted the preliminary injunction sought by Democratic attorneys general from 20 states and the District of Columbia.
Joun, appointed by Democratic president Joe Biden to the federal court in Boston, said he would issue a memorandum explaining his decision at a later date.
