Trump 2nd term updates: Trump attends the Super Bowl

Despite verbal assurances from Secretary of State Marco Rubio about allowing lifesaving humanitarian aid to continue, international aid and development work funded by the U.S. government have almost entirely come to a halt, multiple leaders in humanitarian aid confirmed to ABC News.

Many organizations say they are now worried food from U.S. farmers that had been designated for some of the poorest countries and programs to help malnourished children in conflict zones is at risk of perishing.

One humanitarian aid leader, who asked that ABC News not use their name as many organizations are worried about retribution from the Trump administration, described sitting on over 1,000 tons of food in Mozambique that needs to be distributed.

The Kennedy Center released a statement on Saturday in response to President Donald Trump's baseless claim that he fired the organization's chairman and took over.

"We have received no official communications from the White House regarding changes to our board of trustees. We are aware that some members of our board have received termination notices from the administration," it said.

Trump's claim is baseless as the federal law governing the Kennedy Center states, "The Board shall appoint and fix the compensation and duties of a Chairperson of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, who shall serve as the chief executive officer of the Center, and a Secretary of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. The Chairperson and Secretary shall be well qualified by experience and training to perform the duties of their respective offices."

The Kennedy Center also noted federal funding covers roughly 16% of the total operating budget.

"Support for the Center’s artistic programming comes from ticket sales, donations, rental income, and other revenue sources," it said.

A federal judge in New York granted the states suing over DOGE a temporary restraining order.

“The Court’s firm assessment is that, for the reasons stated by the States, they will face irreparable harm in the absence of injunctive relief. That is both because of the risk that the new policy presents of the disclosure of sensitive and confidential information and the heightened risk that the systems in question will be more vulnerable than before to hacking,” Judge Paul Engelmayer wrote.

New York Attorney General Letitia James hailed the decision on X.

“This morning, we won a court order blocking Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, from accessing Americans’ private data. Musk and his DOGE employees must destroy all records they've obtained.”

The South African government released a statement Saturday in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s executive order, saying “this order lacks factual accuracy and fails to recognise South Africa’s profound and painful history of colonialism and apartheid.”

“It is ironic that the executive order makes provision for refugee status in the U.S. for a group in South Africa that remains amongst the most economically privileged, while vulnerable people in the U.S. from other parts of the world are being deported and denied asylum despite real hardship,” the South African government said in the statement.
