A federal judge on Monday blocked several of President Donald Trump’s executive orders that have threatened federal funding to nonprofits that primarily service LGBTQ+ communities.
District Judge Jon Tigar in Oakland, California, issued a preliminary injunction halting three of Trump’s anti-DEI and anti-transgender executive orders. Nine nonprofits around the country, including the San Francisco AIDS Foundation, had sued the Trump administration, calling its actions unconstitutional.
“While the Executive requires some degree of freedom to implement its political agenda, it is still bound by the Constitution. And even in the context of federal subsidies, it cannot weaponize Congressionally appropriated funds to single out protected communities for disfavored treatment or suppress ideas that it does not like or has deemed dangerous,” Tigar wrote in the order.
