Washington — A federal judge on Tuesday ordered the Trump administration to comply with a temporary order preventing it from pausing foreign assistance funding issued earlier this month, and gave the State Department until Wednesday night to pay all bills for work completed before Feb. 13. U.S. District Judge Amir Ali granted a motion to enforce his temporary restraining order from Feb. 13. It required the State Department and the U.S.
Main Idea: Judge Amir Ali ordered the State Department and USAID to pay overdue foreign aid bills and follow his order to restore funding for work done before Feb. 13.
Key Points:
The funding fight can delay aid work, cut jobs at US contractors, and leave foreign health and relief projects in limbo.
The court order may force the State Department and USAID to pay overdue bills, which can help workers, vendors, and local partners get paid.
