On Tuesday, a federal judge temporarily blocked President Donald Trump's decision to freeze federal funding for a aid program. American media reported.
According to the court's ruling, which takes effect immediately, the president's administration cannot suspend federal funding without congressional approval. This ruling is considered temporary and is made within the framework of a collective appeal by more than a thousand large cities across the country, aimed directly against Trump's order to freeze funding.
"This decision is a victory for those who fight for fair and equal funding for all communities," said one of the representatives of the urban community.
According to the advocates, the president's action is illegal, as only Congress has the authority to decide on issues of federal funding. In turn, Trump’s representatives believe that the court’s decision is unprecedented and negatively reflects on their efforts to ensure law and order in the country.
