LAWFARE: Obama-appointed judge threatened Trump and his team with arrest if they don't restore every last dime of funding that has been paused or cancelled. If the president wants to delay any payment he will need to justify his request to the judge's personal satisfaction.

Judge John J. McConnell, Jr. has ordered Trump to resume all paused funding and restore withheld funds. If Trump wants to pause any federal funding he will need to seek specific permission from the Rhode Island judge. The judge also threatened criminal contempt for anyone caught violating his order.
