WASHINGTON (AP) -- A federal judge has temporarily blocked a Trump administration freeze on federal grants and loans that could total trillions of dollars.

U.S. District Judge Loren L. AliKhan blocked the action Tuesday afternoon, minutes before it was set to go into effect. The administrative stay pauses the freeze until Monday.

The White House had planned to start the pause as they begin an across-the-board ideological review of federal spending.

Administration officials have said federal assistance to individuals would not be affected, including Social Security, Medicare, food stamps, student loans and scholarships.

As temporary as this is, I believe they only issue injunctions when there's a likelihood of success in their argument.
I'm stating the above from memory, which at my age might be failing lol. Please correct me if I'm mistaken.
This is a huge relief and hopefully will still be in place on the 21st of February and whatever dates are of equal importance to so many others.
