The Trump administration‘s Office of Management and Budget rescinded its memo to freeze federal aid spending, though it could be blocked in court for a second time after contradictory statements from the White House suggested the freeze could still be in effect.

The White House Office of Management and Budget on Wednesday rescinded a memo that froze federal grants and loans and created widespread confusion this week.

The original decision caused chaos and confusion and led to panicked calls to governmental agencies and public officials, before a federal judge paused the order.

The full extent of the order was not immediately clear, but the directive sent to government agencies on Monday threatened to paralyze a vast swath of federal programs.

Officials said the decision to halt loans and grants was necessary to ensure spending complies with recent executive orders.
