Trump admin bid to freeze $10bn funding in child care blocked by federal judge

Washington, Jan 10 (UNI) US President Donald Trump's administration on Friday was temporarily blocked from freezing roughly
10 billion in federal funding for child care and social services in five Democratic-led states, dealing an early setback to a move that state officials say would have harmed millions of low-income families.
The ruling came hours after Democratic attorneys general from California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota and New York filed an emergency lawsuit in the US District Court for the southern district of New York, seeking to halt what they described as an abrupt and unlawful cutoff of federal funds.
