Case Overview

The government appealed Judge McConnell's preliminary injunction which requires that the Trump administration resume disbursements of congressionally authorized grants and funding. This case has been consolidated with the government's appealed Judge McConnell's denial of its motion to reconsider the court's order granted a motion to enforce the PI.


The Application

History

Judge McConnell found the plaintiff likely to succeed on constitutional and statutory claims challenging the funding freeze's validity under Congressional appropriation authority, identified irreparable budgetary harm, and determined the balance of equities and public interest supported maintaining the injunction. The court's denial of the government's motion to reconsider confirmed this analysis.

The Conclusion

The preliminary injunction requiring resumed disbursements of congressionally authorized grants was upheld on appeal, rejecting the government's challenge to the injunction's scope and the denial of reconsideration.
