Democratic politicians are up in arms over the Trump administration’s decision to freeze federal funding despite a court order from U.S. District Judge John McConnell of Rhode Island.
McConnell accused the administration of defying his January 31 order to continue the funding in response to a lawsuit filed by Democratic attorneys general in 22 states and Washington, D.C.
‘They have clearly overstepped their boundaries, but unlike the other two branches, they have “neither force nor will” to effectuate their usurpations.’
The judge claimed the Trump administration “continued to improperly freeze federal funds and refused to resume disbursement of appropriated federal funds.”
