NEW YORK, June 3 (Reuters) - A federal judge in Manhattan has extended an injunction banning the Trump administration from canceling unspent funding to help elementary and high schools in 16 U.S. states and Washington, D.C., address the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

U.S. District Judge Edgardo Ramos' preliminary injunction blocks Education Secretary Linda McMahon from rescinding unspent aid, originally totaling more than $1.1 billion, from the American Rescue Plan Act while the states' lawsuit is pending.
