A federal judge's temporary restraining order will remain in effect until she issues a ruling on the federal funding freeze

Delaware nonprofits surveyed said a federal funding freeze would cause reductions in vital services such as health, housing, food and education.

A federal judge on Friday seemed likely to extend his earlier block on the Trump administration's freeze on federal grants and other financial assistance, suggesting the broad initiative was beyond the powers of federal agencies.

U.S. District Judge John J. McConnell said he hopes to issue a ruling in the coming week on states' bid for an injunction.
