The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Feb. 10 appealed a federal judge’s order to immediately restore and resume payments for federal programs, just hours after the ruling was issued.
The notice, filed in a Rhode Island court by DOJ lawyer Daniel Schwei, came after U.S. District Judge John McConnell ruled on Monday that President Donald Trump’s administration had failed to fully abide by an earlier order directing the government to unfreeze all federal funding for programs authorized by Congress.
