A federal judge halted the administration's plan to compensate January 6 participants and people claiming government persecution. The court found the compensation scheme violated the rule of law and lacked statutory authority—meaning Congress never passed a law allowing the executive to hand out this money. The ruling is a rare judicial check on a Trump administration policy, but the administration is expected to appeal.
