With immediate aid still held up and future food procurements in limbo, a former USAID official warns of “a global catastrophe.”

A federal judge ruled that the Trump administration has not complied in full with a previous order that halted the freezing of foreign assistance grants and contracts. U.S. District Court Judge Amir Ali issued a seven-page order Thursday saying President Donald Trump’s administration must abide by a court order to unfreeze foreign aid funding.

The judge faulted the logic of a blanket freeze on foreign aid spending and found that groups that depend on the aid had made a strong initial showing of “irreparable harm.”
