Judge Ali Orders the Government to Make At Least 300 Payments Per Day for Work Performed Prior to February 13

On March 10, Judge Ali issued a preliminary injunction against the government. Judge Ali found it likely that Plaintiffs would prevail on claims that the government violated the Administrative Procedures Act by freezing funding and improperly stopping/suspending work and terminating award.

Based on these preliminary findings, Judge Ali ordered the Government to make at least 300 payments per day for work performed prior to February 13.
