AliKhan’s order came just minutes before Trump’s order was set to come into effect on Tuesday.

 
President Donald Trump’s order freezing hundreds of billions of dollars in federal grants and loans has been temporarily halted.
 
The temporary order halting Trump's executive order was given by a United States judge, Loren AliKhan, on Tuesday.
 
AliKhan’s order came just minutes before Trump’s order was set to come into effect on Tuesday.
 
At a hearing in Washington, D.C., federal court, U.S. District, AliKhan ordered the Trump administration not to block “open awards,” or funds that were already slated to be disbursed, until at least February 3, this year.
 
According to the judge, her temporary ruling was intended to “maintain the status quo,” adding that it doesn’t block the Trump administration from freezing funding to new programs, or require it to restart funding that has already ended.
 
AliKhan however, scheduled another hearing for Monday to determine the next steps.
 
Recall that the American Public Health Association, the National Council of Nonprofits and Main Street Alliance had sued over the directive issued by the acting head of the United States Office of Management and Budget on Monday.
 
It had been set to take effect at 5 pm EST on Tuesday.
 
Meanwhile, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt had said Trump’s plan to pause billions of dollars in US government funding was about being “good stewards of tax dollars”.
