Executive Updates: Courts Blocks 5-State Funding Freeze and ICE’s Use of Taxpayer Addresses
Courts continue to block Trump policies to unlawfully freeze funds and share data. The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York issued a preliminary injunction blocking the Administration for Children and Families from freezing $10 billion in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) and Social Services Block Grant (SSBG) funds for California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota and New York. The U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts issued a preliminary injunction blocking ICE’s use of taxpayer addresses provided by the IRS on February 6.
