A federal judge has given a blow to the USAID financing by President Trump with an order that requires that he recovers funds for hundreds of foreign auxiliary contracts.
Judge Amir Ali issued the order on Thursday in response to a lawsuit caused by companies that receive the financing for programs abroad.
Ali, a Washington, DC judge appointed by former President Joe Biden, accused the Trump government of a 'random and fickle' law in stopping the financing.
He said that the decision to suspend the financing for 90 days did not take into account the damage it would cause.
“To date, the defendants have not given any explanation why a general suspension of all congress that is assigned foreign help,” he said.
Ali said that the decision 'a shock golf and a built -up interest of confidence set up for thousands of similarities with companies, non -profit organizations and organizations throughout the country.
“Absent temporary provisional lighting, therefore the scale of the enormous damage that has already occurred will almost certainly increase.”
The ruling marks the first to temporarily reverse a Trump administration that finances freezing from foreign help.

The freezing had forced USAID and contractors from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs around the world to stop offering humanitarian aid and other help and dismissing staff, which means that many of the auxiliary networks of the world past.
Now funds have been ordered to start flowing again – but this applies to existing contracts before Trump has issued his executive order of January 20.
State Secretary Marco Rubio and Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought are excluded from continuing any stop-work orders that have come into effect after the inauguration, while the court case takes place in the courts.
The decision stops one of Trump's central policy at a time when Elon Musk tries to steam through his purification of government agencies.
USAID was the most difficult hit by Musk's Doge.
Trump repeatedly said that many of the spending of USAID do not match his agenda and vision for America.
The ruling only comes a few hours after a judge in a separate case about the dismantling of USAID said his order that the plans of the Trump administration stops to get anything but a fraction of USAID employees worldwide, at least another week will remain his place.
This is a crushing new story. More come.
