A coalition of attorneys general from 22 states and the District of Columbia filed an emergency motion on Friday for the enforcement of a restraining order blocking the Trump administration’s funding freeze.

Rhode Island U.S. District Chief Judge John McConnell issued a temporary restraining order on Jan. 31 to prevent the Trump administration from freezing federal financial assistance. But the attorneys general said that access to federal funds has remained blocked despite the order.
