The Trump administration has not fully complied with a court order pausing the freezing of foreign assistance grants and contracts, a federal judge ruled Thursday.

U.S. District Judge Amir Ali last week ordered the administration to allow the disbursement of U.S. foreign assistance after hearing claims from federal contractors challenging an executive order signed by President Donald Trump pausing nearly all foreign assistance.

    Remember, he is only immune for official acts. And the courts reserved the right to determine if an act is official. I think they could easily say that openly defying the courts ruling is not an official act. They will wait for something bigger I suspect, but the supreme court judges love power just as much as trump. They are probably excited by the prospect of expanding thier power by giving trump the boot.
