Even an Obama-appointed federal judge couldn’t stop President Donald Trump on Wednesday, delivering him a major legal victory that paves the way for defunding liberal community organizing groups.
The decision allows the U.S. Department of Justice to rescind more than $800 million in violence prevention grants intended for left-leaning nonprofits around the country, many of which benefited from federal funding during the Biden-Harris administration. U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta denied a request for a preliminary injunction by five organizations set to be stripped of funding.
