Agencies are reporting tens of millions of dollars in stalled grant funding for a range of infrastructure and environmental projects.

Federal agencies have been instructed to assess their financial aid programs to determine which ones might be impacted.

A federal judge on Thursday said he stood ready to enforce an order he issued blocking U.S. President Donald Trump's administration from freezing federal grants, loans and other financial assistance after Democratic-led states said billions of dollars in funding was still being tied up.

U.S. District Judge John McConnell said the Office of Management and Budget's about-face on pausing federal payments and contracts was in "name only."

The initial White House order on Monday to freeze federal grants sparked confusion throughout Washington and nationwide.

Rhode Island’s chief federal judge on Thursday extended a temporary restraining order that blocks the Trump administration’s push to freeze federal assistance for at least another 14 days as the case continues to progress through court.

Gender-based violence organizations have begun to self-edit their public-facing media out of fear they will lose federal grants essential to the provision of life-saving services.

The case is scheduled to reconvene in-person at the U.S. District Court of Rhode Island on Feb. 21, at the request of several state attorneys general to offline.

Courts have blocked the order, but some nonprofits have still had to furlough workers and put projects on hold.
