A federal judge on May 7 temporarily blocked the Trump administration from imposing new conditions on grants that fund transit services for the Seattle area and homelessness services for Boston, New York City, San Francisco, and other local governments.

The ruling stems from a lawsuit filed on May 2 by eight cities and counties challenging the new conditions, which were issued in multiple White House executive orders.
