A U.S. judge on Monday extended a pause on the Trump administration's plan to freeze federal loans, grants and other financial assistance, saying it appeared to have "run roughshod" over Congress's authority over government spending.

The Trump administration’s push for a sweeping pause on federal grants and loans totaling potentially trillions of dollars is on hold for now, on the order of a federal judge.

One day after the White House announced a temporary pause on federal loans and grants, it rescinded the freeze.
