The Trump administration on Friday filed to dissolve a federal judge’s order blocking the provision of the “One Big, Beautiful Bill Act” that defunded Planned Parenthood.
U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, this week, issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) to block the portion of the legislation that barred Medicaid from funding procedures at Planned Parenthood clinics.
“Enjoining an Act of Congress signed by the President of the United States is among the most serious and consequential exercises of the judicial power,” the Trump administration argued. “It must be exercised with caution and restraint, as the separation of powers counsels against one branch of government effectively seizing for itself the powers of the other two branches. Yet here, without even awaiting a response from the Government, the Court exercised that power through an extraordinary, highly unusual temporary restraining order (TRO), preventing the enforcement of duly enacted legislation approved by Congress and signed by the President barely a week ago.”
