The Supreme Court sided with a district court judge Wednesday who had ruled the Trump administration could not stop $2 billion in U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) payments to intended recipients.

The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the Trump administration must pay $2 billion in USAID funds to intended recipients, upholding a district court judge's decision. The administration had attempted to halt the payments and appealed the ruling, but the Court rejected their request. The case marks the second time the Trump administration has faced a setback in the Supreme Court over actions taken by the administration. Justice Samuel Alito dissented, criticizing the Court's decision as rewarding "judicial hubris" and imposing a penalty on taxpayers. Nonprofit groups and businesses that sued the administration are still awaiting the funds, with some facing financial hardships, including layoffs.
