A U.S. judge on Monday extended a pause on the Trump administration's plan to freeze federal loans, grants and other financial assistance, saying it may have "run roughshod" over Congress's constitutional authority over government spending.

A federal judge will likely extend a temporary block on President Donald Trump's plan to freeze federal grants and loans. Last week, the White House rescinded the memo on the freeze, but they said Trump's executive orders on funding remained intact.

A Washington, D.C. federal judge on Monday extended a temporary restraining order preventing the Trump administration from carrying out a plan to temporarily freeze funds across the federal government, warning that the funding pause could have “catastrophic” impacts on people across the country.
