A federal judge on Friday temporarily paused the Trump administration’s freeze of $10 billion in social assistance and child care funding in five Democrat-led states in the wake of a widespread probe into alleged federal funding fraud in Minnesota.

Judge Arun Subramanian of New York’s Southern District granted the states’ request for a temporary restraining order blocking the freeze while the case moves forward. Also, Subramanian, a Biden appointee, is requiring the administration to remove any restrictions on the states’ ability to draw down funds in the affected programs, which provide child care, job training, cash assistance, homelessness prevention and other services to low-income families.

The coalition of states – California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota and New York – filed a lawsuit Thursday evening asking the court to halt the funding freeze. The states argue the move is unconstitutional and also violates the laws and regulations governing the federal aid programs.


quote:

The case is the latest court fight between Democratic states and the Trump administration. States have previously sued the administration for freezing other federal funding streams, with mixed results.

At issue now is the US Department of Health and Human Services’ decision on Tuesday to pause funding for the states, suggesting without evidence that the money has been used fraudulently.

frick these judges


If there is suspected fraud you should be able to freeze funding pending investigation

I’m sick of these mother frickers thinking they’re entitled to our tax dollars without oversight or restrictions

I do believe this gets settled rather quickly in the favor of the freeze thereof.

Its not random, they file literally hundreds of lawsuits knowing one of them is going to get in front of the judge they need. Its law-fare 100%.

Where are you Pam? The SCOTUS ruled on this. Disbar and prosecute them. Hello Pam? Where are you?

I honestly have no idea how the government gets anything done. Every day another judge stepping in with a ruling. Let state taxes be used at discretion of state, federal taxes at discretion of federal government. If individual states don’t like federal allocation, have a discussion.

You just knew that was fricking coming.

Gotta love the ruling.

I don't give a shite if these states are getting robbed blind and the American taxpayers by extension, you must continue to send the money.

And, of course, a fricking Biden appointee.

If the assistance is not federal it is a state issue. If it is, the feds have jurisdiction.

Federal aid programs funded by Congress via The House. Once funded, the executive branch then has the authority over distribution.

Please tell me how the move by the executive branch is unconstitutional.

It’s how the Democrat party is funded, this is a small smidgen of fraud rackets they have going on throughout the whole country. It’s how they always seem to have endless amounts of money for elections . This is how they do it. They tax us into oblivion, and gain trillions through fraud , and rackets ran by them.

Trump making Dems and their corrupt judges side with criminals is genius. The spotlight has made the cockroaches expose themselves. Dems are in deep trouble come election season.
