President Donald Trump’s administration still has to pay out nearly $2 billion in foreign aid to groups that work with the U.S. Agency for International Development, the Supreme Court ruled.

In a 5-4 decision issued Wednesday, the court upheld a lower court ruling that requires the administration to unfreeze the funding and rejected the Justice Department’s attempts to reverse the order.


The ruling came after Chief Justice John Roberts issued an order last week temporarily pausing District Court Judge Amir Ali’s ruling that directed the Trump administration to unfreeze the nearly $2 billion in aid while the Supreme Court considered the case.

But the high court has chosen not to take up the Trump administration’s case and since the deadline for the pause in aid has passed, the court has asked the lower court to “clarify what obligations the government must fulfill to ensure compliance with the temporary restraining order.”​
