Judge says feds must fund child care subsidies in 5 states for now
Read Original Source
A federal judge ruled Friday that President Trump's administration must keep federal funds flowing to child care subsidies and other social service programs in five Democratic states — at least for now. The ruling Friday from U.S. District Judge Vernon Broderick extends by two weeks a temporary one issued earlier this month that blocked the federal government from holding back the money from California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota and New York. That expires Friday.
