Judge Blocks Trump's Fund Freeze for Child Care Programs

Federal Judge Blocks Trump Administrations Fund Freeze for Child Care Programs in Five States
A federal judge has temporarily halted the Trump administrations attempt to withhold billions in federal funds for child care and family support programs in five Democratic-led states. The ruling came after the Department of Health and Human Services announced a pause on three key grant programs, citing concerns about benefits being given to people in the country illegally. However, no evidence was provided, and the states were not given a clear explanation for the targeted freeze. The programs affected include the Child Care and Development Fund, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, and the Social Services Block Grant. The states receive over ten billion dollars a year from these programs. Lawyers for the states argued that the freeze is causing chaos and is unconstitutional political targeting. The judges order is temporary until further court arguments. Checkout Solipillow.com
