A Trump administration order to pause federal spending on Tuesday led to bureaucratic bedlam in Rhode Island and across the country as state government officials tried to assess the local impact of suddenly turning off federal spigots.

Congressman Seth Magaziner is criticizing the Trump Administration for not fully reversing its funding freeze.

A second federal judge has ordered a temporary pause in Trump administration efforts to freeze federal funding in the latest twist over the spending of trillions of dollars in grants and loans.

U.S. District Judge John McConnell said statements from the White House had undercut its attempt to rescind the memo ordering the spending freeze.

U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan said some nonprofits continued to be hampered by the freeze and still couldn’t access promised funding.

Judge Loren AliKhan said she would issue her full order by the end of the day Monday, when her initial administrative stay expires.

A federal judge temporarily blocked Trump’s plan to push out federal workers by offering them financial incentives.

Rhode Island’s chief federal judge on Thursday extended a temporary restraining order that blocks the Trump administration’s push to freeze federal assistance for at least another 14 days as the case continues to progress through court.
