Divided Supreme Court says judge can force Trump administration to pay foreign aid
The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to halt a judge’s order to restart nearly $2 billion in State Department and USAID payments for work that has already been done.
A divided Supreme Court on Wednesday denied the Trump administration’s request to block a lower court order on foreign aid funding, clearing the way for the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development to restart nearly $2 billion in payments.
The 5-4 order directed the lower court to clarify what obligations the government must fulfill to global health groups for work already completed, with consideration of the “feasibility of any compliance timelines.”
The decision drew a sharp dissent from four conservative justices who said a District Court judge in D.C. probably lacks the power to compel the federal government to make such payments.

For clarity, the dissenting Judges didn’t think the Government should have had to pay for things /work already done and mandated by Congress…
