Amy Coney Barrett Faces Backlash After Supreme Court Ruling Against Trump Administration

The justice sided with the liberal wing in a 5-4 decision to unfreeze $2 billion in foreign aid, angering Trump supporters.

Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined a 5-4 Supreme Court majority requiring the Trump administration to comply with a lower court order to release $2 billion in frozen foreign aid.
The ruling upheld a decision by U.S. District Judge Amir Ali, who issued a temporary restraining order against the aid freeze initiated by Trump on his first day in office.
Barrett's vote, alongside Chief Justice John Roberts and the Court's liberal justices, drew sharp criticism from MAGA supporters and conservative commentators.
Social media users highlighted Barrett's perceived discomfort during a recent interaction with President Trump at his joint address to Congress, fueling speculation about tensions.
The temporary restraining order remains in effect until March 10, as the lower court has been directed to clarify compliance requirements for the administration.
