The judge\u2063 emphasized that the court&#8217;s instructions were clear and warned officials against attempting to circumvent the order. The administration has yet to\u200b provide evidence \u2064that its \u200dcontinued aid freeze wouldn&#8217;t cause irreparable harm to those dependent\u2062 on the funds. While the judge did not hold officials in contempt,he warned of serious consequences if the administration continues to ignore the order. Following this ruling, foreign aid groups have expressed concerns that payments on outstanding invoices have \u2063not been disbursed, leading to ongoing irreparable harm.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Judge says Trump has not complied with ruling on suspension of foreign aid<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1984052\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/iranian-dissidents-slam-nominee-for-top-defense-post\/\" title=\"Iranian Dissidents Slam Nominee for Top Defense Post\">federal judge ruled<\/a> that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/trump-administration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Trump administration<\/a> has not complied in full with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/3320177\/trump-administration-blocked-axing-all-foreign-aid-contracts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">previous order<\/a> that halted the freezing of foreign assistance grants and contracts.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>U.S. District Court Judge Amir Ali&nbsp;issued a seven-page <a href=\"https:\/\/www.documentcloud.org\/documents\/25540455-aidsvaxcontemptord022025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">order<\/a> Thursday saying President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Donald Trump<\/a>&rsquo;s administration must abide by a court order to unfreeze foreign aid funding. He said his Feb. 13 restraining order was &ldquo;clear&rdquo; and warned officials at the U.S. Agency for International Development and the State Department not to attempt to use other labels or directives to avoid the court&rsquo;s order.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The Court was not inviting Defendants to continue the suspension while they reviewed contracts and legal authorities to come up with a new, post-hoc rationalization for the en masse suspension,&rdquo; Ali wrote.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;To the extent Defendants have continued the blanket suspension, they are ordered to immediately cease it,&rdquo; he continued.<\/p>\n<p>Ali said the Trump administration has not yet provided the court with evidence to challenge the charge that its overall suspension of foreign aid will cause irreparable harm. He added that they had also not provided evidence that they had fully explored the implications that the freeze could have on interests that rely on the aid.<\/p>\n<p>He said the order &ldquo;does not permit Defendants to simply continue their blanket suspension of congressionally appropriated foreign aid pending a review of the agreements for whether they should be continued or terminated. That is the very action that the Court temporarily enjoined.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The order stopped short of holding Trump administration officials in contempt of court for not unfreezing the money.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In response to the ruling, a lawyer with the organization representing the foreign aid groups that originally sued over the funding freeze said Thursday evening, &ldquo;The court has, twice now, ordered State and USAID to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">resume funding vital humanitarian programs<\/a>.
