28.01.2025 โ‡ข Day Money Froze
โŒจTrump's administration attempted to freeze federal funding nationwide, affecting grants and loans across agencies. By early afternoon, reports emerged of Medicaid payment portals failing in multiple states. The White House's new press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, struggled to clarify exemptions while announcing broader access for conservative media.

Immigration enforcement intensified as DHS Secretary Noem joined NYC raids personally, leading to the capture of a Tren de Aragua gang leader. The raids expanded nationwide while deportation flights to Colombia resumed under the previous day's agreement.

By evening, a federal judge temporarily blocked the funding freeze until February 3, as the White House offered federal workers seven months' salary to quit voluntarily. The administration continued its institutional reorganization, confirming Sean Duffy as Transportation Secretary and facing lawsuits over the removal of Trump investigation prosecutors.

Markets remained unstable following the previous day's DeepSeek-triggered tech selloff.
