cThe Supreme Court ruled 5-4 against the Trump administration’s effort to keep billions of dollars in foreign aid frozen. While
the court did not set a specific deadline for releasing the funds, it allowed lower courts to determine the steps the government
must take to comply with a previous order. The case arose after Trump froze foreign aid to align agencies with his priorities,
leading nonprofit groups to sue, arguing that the freeze violated federal law and disrupted essential global health programs.The
ruling was split along ideological lines, with conservative justices dissenting. Democrats celebrated the decision, emphasizing
Congress’s power over spending and the importance of releasing the funds for ongoing international programs.
