A federal judge has indefinitely blocked a fund established during the Trump administration intended to address gun violence. The injunction stems from a dispute over whether the fund has been officially dissolved. The Justice Department failed to affirm under oath that the fund no longer exists, prompting the judge’s action. Critics had argued the fund, created through a 2018 executive order, lacked transparency and diverted resources from existing gun violence prevention programs. The legal challenge was brought by gun control advocacy groups who sought clarity on the fund’s status and use of allocated money. The judge’s decision requires the Justice Department to provide sworn testimony regarding the fund’s complete termination before it can be reactivated. This ruling highlights ongoing legal battles surrounding policies enacted during the previous administration.
