The Application

History

The district court issued a TRO finding that states likely succeeded on claims the funding freeze violated statutory spending conditions or constituted arbitrary executive action under the APA, and that loss of federal funds causes irreparable injury. The government appealed, arguing the TRO unconstitutionally constrains executive fiscal authority.

The Conclusion

The First Circuit reviewed whether the district court properly issued the TRO preventing implementation of the federal funding freeze during litigation.
