An appeals court judge denied the Trump administration’s request for an administrative stay to block a court order that required federal agencies to lift their spending freezes—the latest blow to the Trump administration amid a slew of legal actions as Democrats and others fight President Donald Trump and cost-cutting czar Elon Musk in court.

The Trump administration has violated a court order by refusing to reverse a freeze of billions in government funds, a judge ruled Monday. The ruling was the latest challenge to sweeping White House plans to cut costs and remake the US government.

The Trump administration’s push for a sweeping pause on federal grants and loans totaling potentially trillions of dollars is on hold for now, on the order of a federal judge.
