A federal judge has ordered President Donald Trump's administration to temporarily lift a funding freeze that has shut down U.S. humanitarian aid and development work worldwide. The judge set a five-day deadline for the administration to prove compliance with the order. The ruling comes amid lawsuits challenging the administration's dismantling of USAID and foreign assistance. Contractors and suppliers have been left financially devastated by the funding freeze, with undelivered aid at risk of theft. The judge also blocked the administration from enforcing stop-work orders and questioned plans to keep aid staffers safe amid the dismantling of USAID.
