Federal Judge Temporarily Blocks Trump Admin From Reclaiming Billion-Dollar Climate Grants

A federal district court judge blocked the Environmental Protection Agency's efforts to claw back $20 billion the Biden administration awarded to eight climate nonprofit organizations. In her opinion Tuesday evening, Judge Tanya Chutkan of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, who was appointed by former president Barack Obama, wrote that the Trump EPA failed to submit evidence to support its termination of the billion-dollar grants. Chutkan's ruling, however, does not force federal disbursements to continue to grant recipients, allowing the funds to remain frozen.
