A federal judge in San Francisco has ordered the Trump administration to partially restore federal research grants to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) that were suspended last month. The grants, funded by the National Science Foundation, were subject to an illegal blanket freeze imposed by the administration. This ruling comes amid ongoing litigation involving a major class action lawsuit filed by researchers from the UC school system. The judge's decision marks a setback for the Trump administration's efforts to compel UCLA into a $1 billion settlement. The partial restoration of funding aims to resume support for federal science research at UCLA while the legal dispute continues.
