Judge Extends Block on Trump's $1.8 Billion Anti‑Weaponization Fund

A federal judge has extended a court‑ordered block on the Trump administration's planned $1.8 billion anti‑weaponization settlement fund. Attorney General Todd Blanche announced the fund was being scrapped, yet plaintiffs remain unconvinced, prompting Judge Leonie Brinkema to issue a preliminary injunction because the administration has not confirmed the fund’s termination.
The balance of the harms tips clearly in favor of plaintiffs.
I do not have in this record the type of uncontestable evidence that this could not be repeated.
It's a huge gap in the record that we don't have an answer to that question.
The (government's) mootness argument, in my view, doesn't go anywhere.
Despite the administration's shifting explanations about the future of the slush fund, the court's order ensures that taxpayer dollars cannot be distributed through this unlawful scheme while the courts fully consider the serious constitutional issues at stake.
This ruling is a significant victory for the Constitution, the rule of law, and people in America.
