Judge Amir Ali said the Trump administration violated a court order about foreign aid and is ordering them to pay millions to nonprofits.
A federal judge, Amir Ali, ruled that the Trump administration must pay millions in foreign aid to nonprofits, citing a violation of a court order. The administration had frozen foreign aid funds, ignoring a temporary restraining order. Despite attempts to use "sovereign immunity" as a defense, the administration's lawyers struggled to provide compliance details during the hearing. The judge emphasized the order's clarity and demanded payment by a specific deadline, noting the administration's noncompliance.
