Idaho nonprofits express uncertainty as White House calls for funding freeze now blocked by judge
The Freeze was set to begin at 3pm, only to be blocked by a federal judge. Before that, the White House held their first press conference Tuesday- addressing confusions as to 'who' and 'what programs' would and would not have been affected by this freeze.
