Democrats sue White House budget office over federal grant freeze

Democratic state attorneys general, led by states like New York and California, have announced legal action to obtain a judicial order to immediately halt the implementation of this policy. They view the freeze as an overreach of executive power and aim to protect the programs and funding that Congress has already approved.

It's important to note that the situation has been fluid, with a federal judge issuing a restraining order blocking the federal spending freeze5. Additionally, agency employees have been instructed to no longer block any funding related to Trump's executive orders6. The full extent of the freeze's impact and its current status may still be evolving.
