A federal judge in Washington, D.C., on Monday declined to order the Trump administration to restore thousands of foreign aid contracts and grants that have been canceled since President Donald Trump took office.

But U.S. District Judge Amir Ali, a Joe Biden appointee, found the administration must accelerate payments of close to $2 billion for already completed work.

The ruling by Ali is a setback for organizations that contract with or receive grants from the U.S. Agency for International Development and the State Department and are suing the administration over its freeze in January of nearly all of its foreign aid payments and termination of most of its agreements with third-party partners.

Honestly, forcing payment of already completed work seems reasonable, though there's a good question of what the hell is being done with 2 billion dollars.

@YoungBlood Deliver the payment accompanied by a team of auditors.

@YoungBlood

It appears that Judge Ali has received the message from the SCOTUS.

The Administration should ask him to better define "must accelerate payments" for completed work.

In the interest of "good faith" compliance, of course.
