Federal Judge Orders Immediate Release of Federal
Post# of 13222
Responding to the petition of several state Attorneys General, U.S. District Judge John “Jack” McConnell Jr. issued an Enforcement Order on Monday, February 10, clarifying the scope of a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) issued on January 29, and ordering the Trump Administration to the release federal funds to comply with the earlier order.
Federal grant programs that remained frozen after Judge McConnell’s TRO included a slew of funds from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), such as the Climate Pollution Reduction Grant, Solar for All, Drinking Water State Revolving Funds, and Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates Program. Programs in at least nine other agencies were also frozen. On Tuesday, a federal appeals court denied the Trump Administration’s request to stay the TRO.
