restraining order. The UC system is part of a nationwide suit filed against the administration’s move. From here, the federal government can drop the proposed cuts or appeal the judge’s decision. If the government appeals, the injunction would remain in effect
until a ruling by a higher court. </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
