Judge directs Trump administration to comply with order to unfreeze federal grants

A federal judge in Rhode Island on Monday ordered the Trump administration to comply with his order to unfreeze federal grants, after attorneys general for several Democratic states claimed the directive was not being fully complied with.
In a short order, U.S. District Judge John McConnell directed the Trump administration to “immediately” end any federal funding pause until he decides whether to indefinitely block the freeze while litigation is ongoing.
In a memo last month, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) directed federal agencies to pause the disbursement of grants while the administration assessed its spending to assure its alignment with Trump’s agenda, sparking legal challenges and widespread confusion.
Though the memo was later withdrawn, McConnell said the reversal was “in name only” after White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt cautioned on social media that the administration’s rescission only referred to the memo itself, not the entire freeze.
McConnell’s new order came after the Democratic attorneys general for 22 states and Washington, D.C., who challenged the freeze said the Trump administration was not complying with the judge’s initial command. LINK

Solidifying my position more and more to say FU to these judges as their "orders" will be found to not hold water.
But I am a vindictive hot head when I get pissed. Hope Trumps team make the right choice.
