2 months after a federal court temporarily blocked Trump’s freeze on billions in congressionally approved #ForeignAid, an attorney for relief orgs said the govt had taken “literally zero steps to allocate this money.”

Judge Amir Ali, a Biden appointee, has ordered the admin to explain what it is doing to comply w/the order. #Trump ofcls have said they will eventually release the funds, but #aid groups worry the admin is simply trying to delay until the allocations expire in the fall.
