A federal judge on Tuesday blocked President Donald Trump’s order to halt trillions of dollars in federal grants, loans and other financial assistance, which had been set to go into effect at 5 p.m. EST.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta said Tuesday that the freeze could cut $3 trillion in federal funding from programs that help the homeless, veterans, seniors, disaster victims and school children nationwide.

California is suing to block President Donald Trump’s federal funding freeze, which impacts programs including wildfire aid, Medicaid, food stamps and Pell grants.

Concerns arose that the freeze could affect California wildfire relief, particularly that from federal agencies such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Trump has often criticized FEMA and has hinted at overhauling the agency.

Trump's order is premised on the idea that increasing Delta pumping would make more water available for the rest of California. But experts say its more complicated than that.

Cal Fire’s total base wildfire protection budget has nearly tripled over the past 10 years, from $1.1 billion in 2014‑15 to $3 billion in 2023‑24.

President Donald Trump issued an executive order to allow federal agencies to override state policies to maximize water amid the Los Angeles wildfires.
