The U.S. Department of Justice in an emergency filing with the 6-3 conservative majority court noted that a 2-1 panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit earlier this month ruled the injunction should be overturned.
Trump imposed a 90-day pause on all foreign aid on January 20, the day that he was inaugurated for a second term in the White House.
Two nonprofit groups that receive federal funding, AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition and Journalism Development Network, brought litigation alleging Trump’s funding freeze was unlawful.
The Republican president’s administration said that without the justices’ intervention, it will be forced to keep making payments before the expiration date, “overriding the Executive Branch’s foreign-policy judgments regarding whether to pursue rescissions and thwarting interbranch dialogue.”
Ali, an appointee of Democratic President Joe Biden, ordered the Trump administration to pay nearly $2 billion in outstanding aid to its humanitarian partners worldwide. The U.S. Supreme Court in March by a 5-4 vote declined to let the administration avoid making those payments.
But the D.C. Circuit panel ruled that the nonprofit groups failed to satisfy the requirements for an injunction. U.S. Circuit Judge Karen Henderson, writing for the majority, said only the U.S. Government Accountability Office, a watchdog agency, could challenge Trump’s efforts to withhold the funding. - Reuters
