WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal appeals court on Tuesday refused to immediately halt a judge’s order requiring the Trump administration to release billions of dollars in federal grants and loans that remain frozen even after a court blocked a sweeping pause on federal funding.

This is the first time in President Donald Trump’s second term that a federal judge has accused his administration of defying a court order.

The administration is still freezing federal funds in violation of a judicial order stopping it from doing so.
