Illinois lawmakers are happy a federal judge halted President Trump's federal funding freeze Tuesday, but they aren't relying on the temporary injunction. Why it matters: State lawmakers are worried that the freeze could have lasting damage to residents who rely on Medicaid and other public services.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker said President Donald Trump’s pause on federal funding is illegal and accused the administration of lying when it said programs that provide direct assistance like Medicaid would not be affected.

The Trump administration’s surprise federal funding freeze spurred discord and pushback in Illinois even as a judge temporarily blocked the effort.
