Federal Judge Extends Injunction on Federal Spending Freeze
-----------------------------------------------------------

A federal court in Washington, D.C., has extended a temporary injunction
against President Trump's effort to freeze trillions of dollars of
federal spending. U.S. District Judge Loren Ali Khan ruled Trump's order
appears to violate the Constitution's separation of powers, which grants
Congress the authority to tax and spend. She also cited the
"catastrophic" impact the freeze would have on millions of people who
receive government services, including food, home heating and medical
assistance.
