District Judge Amir Ali, a Joe Biden appointee, had issued a temporary restraining order earlier this year stopping the Trump administration from freezing foreign aid funds approved by Congress for the 2024 fiscal year.

In a 2-to-1 vote, a federal appeals court panel ruled that foreign aid groups that sued to recover funds that President Trump froze cannot challenge the decision.

Non-profits that sued the Trump administration over USAID cuts were told they don't have legal standing, clearing the way for the government to cut billions.
