The document communicates a temporary restraining order (TRO) regarding the federal financial assistance pause prompted by an Office of Management and Budget (OMB) memorandum and executive orders from the President. The states involved in the case, led by New York, assert that this pause violates the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) and the U.S. Constitution by unilaterally obstructing the disbursement of congressionally appropriated funds. The court found sufficient likelihood that the plaintiffs would succeed on the merits of their claims, indicating that immediate irreparable harm would occur without a TRO. Key stipulations prohibit federal agencies from pausing or blocking funding based on the rescinded OMB Memo or related executive orders, emphasizing compliance with statutory obligations. The order highlights the continued critical role of these funds for state services across various sectors such as health and education. Moreover, it indicates that despite the OMB's rescission of the memorandum, the directive's substance persists, necessitating the TRO to maintain operations pending further legal proceedings. The court will set a hearing date for a preliminary injunction as litigation proceeds.
