The Supreme Court on Sept. 26 extended its prior order letting the Trump administration temporarily withhold approximately $4 billion in foreign aid funding previously authorized by Congress.

The full court granted the federal government’s request to impound the congressionally appropriated funds after Chief Justice John Roberts granted an administrative stay on Sept. 9, allowing the justices more time to consider the request.
