OMB rescinds its sweeping federal funding-freeze memo after two days
Memo covering all federal financial assistance withdrawn
Original action
OMB issued Memo M-25-13 pausing the obligation or disbursement of all federal financial assistance.
- Office of Management and Budget
Reversal
After a court TRO partially blocked the pause, OMB formally rescinded Memo M-25-13. The White House said the rescission ended confusion from the injunction but was 'NOT a rescission of the federal funding freeze' itself.
- Mechanism: rescission
Notes
A partial walk-back: the memo was rescinded but the administration asserted the underlying executive-order freezes remained in effect.
