What happened
U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan of the District of Columbia temporarily blocked the Trump administration from using $20 million in taxpayer funds for a national advertising campaign. This action reinforces restrictions that were imposed earlier this month in a separate lawsuit. Judge AliKhan cited possible violations of a prior restraining order and uncertainty over its continued validity as reasons for the new block.
Why it matters
The judicial block restricts the use of $20 million in taxpayer funds. This impacts the execution of the federal budget, which is managed by the Office of Management and Budget.
