Judge Halts Trump Admin's Humanities Grant Cancellation

Judge Halts Trump Admin's Humanities Grant Cancellation

A judge has temporarily stopped the government from canceling money for humanities programs.

The government had decided to stop funding these programs.

The judge, who was appointed by a previous president, said that stopping the money might be against the rules.

He said the government didn't follow what Congress, the group that makes laws, wanted.

The judge said that canceling these programs would cause harm that couldn't be fixed.

He also stopped the government from spending or giving away the money for these programs.

This means the government has to wait before it can cancel the funding.
