Another major legal setback has landed on the Trump administration, as a federal judge moved swiftly to block an effort to freeze $10 billion in social safety net funding relied on by millions of low-income families. The ruling orders welfare funds to continue flowing to California, New York, Illinois, Colorado, and Minnesota, after state officials warned the sudden freeze was already disrupting critical programs.

U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian issued an emergency injunction, temporarily stopping the administration from cutting off money allocated for child care assistance, cash aid for families, and essential social services grants. In his decision, the judge raised serious questions about whether the White House has the authority to withhold funds already approved by Congress.

The administration has argued the freeze was necessary due to alleged concerns over fraud and misuse, but the states say no evidence was provided. The case now sets up a broader legal fight over executive power, congressional authority, and the limits of federal control over welfare funding.
