Judge blocks Trump's $1.3B school funding threat over DEI programs
A second federal judge issued a separate injunction blocking the Trump administration from threatening to cut $1.3 billion in school funding over DEI programs, one day after a related ruling. The back-to-back injunctions established a judicial pattern of blocking the administration's anti-DEI enforcement. Schools in multiple states were shielded from funding loss.
