A federal judge has mandated the Trump administration to restore funding halted under the Inflation Reduction Act and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. U.S. District Judge Mary McElroy criticized the administration's actions as unreasonable, emphasizing that agencies lack the authority to indefinitely withhold Congressionally approved grants. Several federal agencies, including the EPA and the Department of Energy, are involved in lawsuits over this funding issue. The ruling highlights the limits of executive power in implementing presidential agendas, reaffirming that judicial oversight is necessary when procedural violations occur.
