Supreme Court Issues Administrative Stay of Injunction Directing Obligation of Expiring Foreign Aid Funds
Bradley – United States District Court Judge Amir H. Ali issued a preliminary injunction directing certain government defendants to ensure the obligation of approximately $11.5 billion in funds appropriated by Congress for foreign aid that will expire if not obligated prior to September 30, 2025. The Department of Justice asked the Supreme Court of the United States for an immediate administrative stay of the preliminary injunction while the Supreme Court considers the DOJ’s application for a partial stay of the preliminary injunction. On September 9, 2025, Chief Justice John Roberts issued an order granting the administrative stay until further order of either the chief justice or the Supreme Court.
