Executive orders’ impact on premier medical research agency has resulted in delayed projects and frozen funding

The Trump administration is exploiting a loophole to keep a funding freeze in place, leaving researchers in limbo.

Nine days after President Donald Trump signed executive orders intended to crack down on illegal immigration, Damaris Alvarado-Rodriguez closed a classroom at one of her child care centers in Philadelphia. Despite having green cards, the teachers in that classroom, which serves 1-year-olds, were too nervous to come to work. Since Trump took office, his officials have targeted Philadelphia and other so-called sanctuary cities that limit their cooperation on immigration enforcement. Immigration agents have been a constant presence in the neighborhoods that house Alvarado-Rodriguez’s three centers.

The restraining order, along with a similar directive by another judge from Friday, amounted to a rebuke of the move as an overreach that likely lacked legitimate authority.
