Indian-origin judge Arun Subramaniam’s big decision against Trump administration, Musk protested

US Judge Arun Subramaniam has put on hold the Trump administration’s decision to block a $10 billion fund earmarked for Democrat states. This decision has forced the White House and big names like Elon Musk to oppose it. The Trump administration had blocked this fund on the allegation that it would be spent on illegal immigrants, while the judge took this decision in view of its devastating impact on poor families.

Judiciary vs Executive: Growing Controversy in America

This legal battle is now giving rise to a deep dispute between the judiciary and the executive in America. The Trump administration says federal courts do not have the authority to force the executive to release the funds. Meanwhile, New York Attorney General Letitia James welcomed the decision, calling it political retaliation. She said withholding funds would cause significant harm to domestic violence shelters and low-income families.

Who is Judge Arun Subramaniam?
