One of Biden’s Final Appointments, First Federal Muslim Judge Judge Amir Ali Overrules Trump’s Foreign Aid Freeze, Tax Dollars to Jihad To Flow Again

One of Biden’s final appointments has put a hold on Donald Trump’s attempts to dismantle the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

Un-elected radical judges do not have more power than our duly elected President. This madness is a terrible flaw in our system of governance. In this case of judicial malfeasance, sharia law trumps Western law.

They have been planning the lawfare against the Trump administration for 2 years. They have 800 lawyers and 280 civil service organizations. They were pre-interviewing plaintiffs in November of 2024. That is not me saying this. That is the New York Times saying this.

Amir Ali was the president and executive Director at the MacArthur Justice Center, a radical left wing organization whose Mission Statement is, “We advocate for people harmed by America’s oppressive and violent criminal legal system.” The Center called for defunding the police and demanded that charges be dropped against violent BLM rioters.

The Senate confirmed Ali, who has been prominent in seeking more minorities in the courts, as a federal judge on November 20, 2024 after a very close vote of 50-48. The two Republican absences were Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and Mike Braun, who was preparing to leave the Senate to become Indiana governor.

In response, North Carolina Republican Senator Thom Tillis told the political website Roll Call that he was “very angry” that not enough Republicans showed up to stop the confirmation. “Ninety percent of success in life is showing up. We could have stopped those 18 votes after that first vote if we had shown up that day,” Tillis said. “I don’t think it’s unreasonable to make damn sure we’re all there at the strike of the gavel. It’s that simple.”

Ali grew up in Canada to Egyptian parents before moving to the U.S. He has long advocated for Arab American rights, especially after 9/11 (Newsweek)

Allahu Akbar, America!

Federal judge pauses Trump’s freeze on foreign aid

By: MSN,  February 14, 2025

A federal judge on Thursday night temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s freeze on foreign aid funding. He has ordered the reinstatement of contracts and awards for foreign development projects. 

The ruling, delivered by US District Judge Amir Ali, came as a setback for the Trump administration. With the help of DOGE, the govt has aimed to overhaul foreign assistance programs through an executive order issued last month.

According to a Forbes report, the case was brought to court by a coalition of nonprofit organizations and contractors that depend on funding from the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and other federal agencies.

These groups had been cut off from federal aid or forced to suspend their operations following Trump’s executive order. Trump has imposed a 90-day freeze on foreign development aid.

Judge Ali granted the plaintiffs’ request for a temporary restraining order. He has allowed foreign aid contracts signed before January 20 to resume. However, he stopped short of blocking the executive order itself, stating that it was not necessary to enjoin the president or the order for now.

Concerns over ‘unexplained’ funding freeze

In his ruling, Judge Ali questioned the administration’s rationale for the blanket suspension of USAID. However, the Trump administration argues that it is necessary to ensure that US foreign aid projects align with its foreign policy goals.

The 90-day suspension was intended to allow the administration to conduct a review of all foreign assistance programs. However, the judge pointed out that no explanation was provided for why a complete halt to congressionally appropriated foreign aid was the appropriate first step in this review.

“Suspension of all congressionally appropriated foreign aid set off a shockwave and upended reliance interests for thousands of agreements with businesses, nonprofits, and organizations around the country, was a rational precursor to reviewing programs,” Ali denoted.
