The judge found that the nonprofits proved that the &#8220;funding freeze would be economically catastrophic \u2014 and in some circumstances, fatal \u2014 to their members&#8221; and agreed to grant their request for a preliminary injunction while the case plays out.<\/p>\n<p>AliKhan had previously issued a temporary restraining order that prevented the Trump administration from freezing federal assistance while she considered the nonprofits&#8217; request for injunctive relief. The judge held a hearing on their motion last week.<\/p>\n<p>The nonprofit groups had argued that the Trump administration exceeded its authority by ordering the nationwide finding freeze and said it was threatening the federal aid based on their exercise of their First Amendment rights of speech and association. AliKhan agreed in her decision that the government &#8220;may be crossing a constitutional line.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The scope of power OMB seeks to claim is &#8216;breathtaking,&#8217; and its ramifications are massive,&#8221; wrote the judge, who was appointed by former President Joe Biden. &#8220;Because there is no clear statutory hook for this broad assertion of power, plaintiffs are likely to succeed on the merits of this claim.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>AliKhan said that the nonprofits showed a &#8220;mountain of evidence&#8221; that &#8220;even the threat of a funding freeze was enough to send countless organizations into complete disarray.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>OMB <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-freeze-federal-loans-grants-white-house-memo\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">issued its memo<\/a><\/span> directing federal agencies to temporarily pause all activities related to federal financial assistance on Jan. 27. The directive swiftly prompted two lawsuits \u2014 one by the group of nonprofits, filed in federal district court in Washington, D.C.; and the second from a group of Democratic-led states, brought in Rhode Island.<\/p>\n<p>But two days after the OMB issued its memo, it <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-funding-freeze-rescinded-memo\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">was rescinded<\/a><\/span>. Shortly after the memo was walked back, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced on social media that the new directive was not a rescission of the federal funding freeze, but solely an unwinding of OMB&#8217;s Jan. 27 memo.<\/p>\n<p>While the government argued that the White House directive to pause OMB grants was rescinded and should not be considered broadly, &#8220;agencies still implemented the original memorandum as written,&#8221; AliKhan wrote in her decision, which resulted in funds for programs like the &#8220;Head Start&#8221; program and funds for small businesses being frozen.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Defendants still cannot provide a reasonable explanation for why they needed to freeze all federal financial assistance in less than a day to &#8216;safeguard valuable taxpayer resources,'&#8221; AliKhan added.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \"\/><!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/jacob-rosen\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Jacob Rosen<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Jake Rosen is a reporter covering the Department of Justice.
