"Even an Obama-appointed federal judge couldn’t stop President Donald Trump on Wednesday, delivering him a major legal victory that paves the way for defunding liberal community organizing groups.The decision allows the U.S. Department of Justice to rescind more than $800 million in violence prevention grants intended for left-leaning nonprofits around the country, many of which benefited from federal funding during the Biden-Harris administration. U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta denied a request for a preliminary injunction by five organizations set to be stripped of funding.
Mehta ruled that the termination of more than 360 grants is “shameful,” but that he does not have the authority to prevent the pause from occurring. Defendants, he said, failed to state a constitutional violation or protection."
