The facts

  1. Judge Loren L. AliKhan stayed the $20 million apportionment for the specified campaign and directed OMB and DHS to stop distribution, including through authorized third parties. [1][2]

  2. The judge found the DNC likely to succeed on its Administrative Procedure Act claim concerning unlawful uses of appropriated funds; the government had argued that its changed conduct removed the need for relief. [1][2]

  3. The order lasts fourteen days from 28 October unless extended. It required a compliance report by 30 October and a proposed preliminary-injunction briefing schedule by 2 November. [1]

Still unconfirmed

  • Compliance with the removal directions and any later extension or appellate relief were not established in the checked records.
