A federal district court judge on Tuesday ordered the Trump administration to release U.S. foreign aid and accused the administration of noncompliance with his previous order to end the funding freeze.

U.S. District Judge Amir H. Ali on Tuesday ruled in a lawsuit filed by nonprofit organizations over the cutoff of foreign assistance through the U.S. State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), an agency that the Trump administration has targeted in its federal spending reduction efforts in recent weeks.
