A federal judge in Rhode Island has ruled that the Trump administration failed to comply with a court order halting a federal funding freeze. The government has been ordered to “immediately restore frozen funding.” NBC News reporters Aaron Gilchrist and Laura Jarrett provide insight into the details of the ruling and what steps will be taken next.
The ruling comes after a previous court order that halted a sweeping federal funding freeze was not properly followed by the White House. The judge’s decision to require the government to unfreeze the funding demonstrates the importance of adhering to legal rulings and respecting the judicial process.
This latest development highlights the ongoing battles over federal funding and budget allocations within the Trump administration. The case serves as a reminder of the checks and balances in place to ensure that government actions are conducted in accordance with the law.

So it is ok for the dementia joe admin to not obey the law and launder billions of American tax dollars. And when President Donald Trump does obey the law, it is crimal. These agencies are all executive branch and fall directly under the President of the United States authority. We want the government grifters gone. If they keep fighting we will demand prosecutions mishandling and misuse of government funds.
Sorry, new policy is to mail out the checks, no more wire transfers for money that hasn't been reviewed. The post office is only so fast.
Trump is a DISGRACE
It is urgent that America stay within the constitutional Frame other wise will be Anarchy, Make changes but in an orderly and lawful way,
He is truly “the disgrace”.
I'm here to see Aaron Gilchrist 1st and the news 2nd! 😍
Is the judge nuts.
It is literally sedition to argue the govt is above audit
I hope Trump ignores this Judge and charges him with obstruction of justice. Knowing and willfully defrauding the American people!!!
This is chapter 2 of project 2025 written by JD Vance
He promised to get rid of every department investigating Elon? He promised to get rid of profitable departments that protects us? He promised to turn over ALL info on us to Elon and 19 & 20 year old self proclaimed racists? Really I didn’t here any of that!!! I didn’t hear that he was going to ignore and end the other two equal branches of government and declaring himself KING!!! THIS OLIGARCH NEWS STATION OWNERS ARE MISLEADING AND MISDIRECTING YOU, they really believe they will survive the end of our CONSTITUTION 😂
I say if Trump is going to willing go against the courts order. And continue to not use the rules set forth by the constitution and judiciary system. The American people need to take it to the next level as portest for his resignation or his impeachment. Along with appreciation of Elon and his associates pending a investigation
Actually, vance, the judicial branch is equal to the legislative branch and the executive branch, i thought you went to Yale, didn’t they teach you about government? Putz.
Drain the swamp please
Musk will ignore federal judge’s ruling and keep going worst thing is Trump pardons him big deal folks this is what a rich takeover of the country looks like. Get used to being in the bottom of America society
Calm down people. He isn’t really orange. He’s really white and rich.
Laws don’t apply to him.
He's a para sight.
#LOCKTRUMPUP
A bunch of these judges work for democrats. This includes Native American judges, cops, Casinos. Forcefully detain these Attorney Judges, Govonors, Mayor's, City Councils. They endanger the USA.
Trump is the disgrace.
Judge is a corrupt puppet of the deep state.
Attorneys advising the POTUS, to Break The Rule Of Law, can get DISBARRED IMMEDIATELY?
This is utterly insane, All Americans must have some sense, knowing that trying to take over Canada would cost millions of lives and throw all of north America in to an "Orwellian" present dystopia
Why would a lower circuit court rule on any decisions executive made ? Who voted for the lower circuit judges?, I didn’t.
I am Canadian…..you guys are so pooched
STOP messaging this as if it’s some cool boxing match. This IS a constitutional crisis if not a soft coup. Do better in calling this tyrant out.
What’s the point of having people above the president if the president doesn’t comply????? This is so ridiculous!
Americans have no idea of what the word "republic " means . Res Publicae. The Thing Public. In which " public " as funny and ridiculous it might sound today means " Who has passed puberty ".
Litterally. But it simply meant : the citizens who are adult and educated enough .
In Emmanuel Kant definition of the Republic ( if Kant is not too difficut…) The Executive power always must be inferior in power to the Legislative .
Because the Legislative is what defines the Republic as a system of representation of the will of the people.
I read every where that Americans learn in High school that all the branches of power must be equal. It is wrong.
And the separation of power as a concept of course comes from Montesquieu.
The last elections were only Presidential elections.
They were not Legislative elections.
Another big confusion in the mind of Americans.
Losing your government funding NBC !
I call it TRUMP FORCE..
Protect these Judges
Fake judges everywhere
Judges Need to F Off Follow Constitution Oath
Lock this fool up
