Federal Judge Amir H. Ali understood that the decision of US president was based on a dubious logic
A federal judge from the United States ordered last Thursday (13.FEV.2025) that the government of President Donald Trump (Republican Party) resumed spending with external help that chief executive interrupted during his 1st week in office.
The decision of Judge Amir H. Ali of the Federal District Court in Washington concluded that Trump’s executive order for the total freezing of the US external spending was based on a dubious logic. The information is from.
The judge also claimed that the decision was possibly causing irreparable damage to humanitarian aid groups, which face devastating financial deficits and, in some cases, are ending without budget help.
Amir H. Ali issued an injunction stating that the Trump government could not freeze spending with external help prior to the republican’s possession, nor could they fire or suspend workers associated with these spending projects.
The magistrate’s decision reverses the Trump government measure to dismantle USAID (US Agency for International Development), which provides humanitarian aid in several countries.
In the 15 -page decision, the judge there said that the plaintiffs, a coalition of help groups, companies and non -profit organizations of health and media, “They made a strong preliminary demonstration of irreparable damage”.
He cited the example of a non -profit organization that protects refugees and asylum applicants. She reported dismissing 535 employees after losing federal subsidies, closing program offices and postponing payments to her suppliers.
The judge there also argued that he was not convinced that the use of exemptions from the Trump administration to allow the continuation of some foreign aid programs was a significant defense.
“These exemptions do not solve the problem, because a company cannot interrupt global supply chains halfway and then resume operations with uncertainty if you will have to stop again in 30 days.”wrote there. Administration lawyers Trump, he wrote, “They pointed to the exemption process, but did not refute this evidence, recognizing that the exemption process may have had ‘hiccups’”.
The judge there was also skeptical about the justification stated by the Trump administration for freezing, which is to allow a part part to locate what claims to be a hidden waste of spending.
For the judge, the administration lawyers Trump “They offered no explanation for reason why a general suspension of all foreign aid appropriate by Congress, which triggered a wave of shock and toppled the confidence interests of thousands of agreements with companies, non -profit organizations and organizations across the country , it was a rational precursor for the review of programs. ”
