US judge orders Trump administration to obey halt on spending freeze

A United States federal judge has ruled that the administration of President Donald Trump did not fully comply with his order halting a federal spending freeze that has thrown the government into chaos.

On Monday, US District Judge John McConnell called for all funding to be restored, as courts consider whether the spending freeze is constitutional.

States had reported continued trouble accessing federal funds, even after McConnell paused the Trump administration’s freeze on January 31.
