Washington, February 27 (RHC)-- U.S. federal courts have ordered a pause to much of President Trump’s agenda in a trio of rulings involving refugees, federal spending and foreign aid. 

In the first ruling on Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan in Washington, D.C., ordered the White House to pause its spending freeze on grants, loans and other financial aid. 

In a second ruling, U.S. District Judge Jamal Whitehead in Seattle blocked Trump’s executive order suspending refugee admissions and funding. 

And in a third case, U.S. District Judge Amir Ali in Washington, D.C., ordered the Trump administration to comply with his order from two weeks ago to unfreeze billions of dollars for foreign assistance grants and contracts.
