⚖️ Judge blocks Trump's political strings attached to city grants. A federal court ruled in favor of Columbus and other local governments, preventing the Trump administration from enforcing new ideological conditions on billions in federal funding. Judge Barbara Rothstein expanded an earlier injunction to protect grants from multiple departments including Housing, Transportation, and Health Services. The ruling ensures cities can receive congressionally-approved funding without agreeing to conditions like bans on diversity programs. "This decision means we can continue vital funding without being held hostage to an extreme political agenda," said a Columbus official.
