Waco Temple Bryan, TX, October 12, 2026 — A federal judge in New York has issued an order directing the Trump administration to cease all further broadcasts of taxpayer-funded advertisements intended to promote the President’s agenda.
The injunction was granted following a legal challenge brought forth by a coalition spearheaded by the watchdog organization Common Cause. The group contended that the ad buys contravened established appropriations law.
The Trump administration had reportedly allocated $19 million towards the advertising campaign. These ads were officially classified as public service announcements.
The specifics of the appropriations law violations were not detailed in the provided summary. The exact date the order was granted was also not provided. Common Cause has not publicly detailed further steps planned following the injunction, nor has the administration commented on its response to the court’s order.
