A judge in Virginia temporarily blocked the Trump administration from transferring money in or out of the fund until the court could hear arguments in June.
The order came from the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, in Alexandria, in a case brought by a group of people who say they have faced partisan attacks by the Trump administration but expect to be excluded from accessing the fund.
