Federal judge permanently blocks Trump executive order to end funding for NPR and PBS
U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss ruled that President Trump's executive order to cease federal funding for NPR and PBS is unlawful and unenforceable, citing First Amendment violations. The judge found the order constituted viewpoint discrimination and retaliation against the broadcasters for their perceived political bias. Trump had signed the executive order directing federal agencies to cut off funding to the public broadcasting organizations.
