President Trump’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) rescinded a freeze on federal assistance. This is after the OMB issued a sweeping memorandum on January 27 that created chaos and confusion around funding for critical programs that millions of people across the country rely on for food, housing, health care, and other essential services. The freeze was to take effect on Tuesday, January 28, at 5 p.m., but a federal judge blocked the freeze until February 3.
