起诉挑战唐纳德·特朗普总统取消国会批准的8.1亿美元支出的举动的诉讼正在全国各地的法庭上堆积如山，因为接收联邦资金的州和团体正在努力争取资金继续流动。
Lawsuits challenging President Donald Trump’s move to cancel $810 million in congressionally approved spending are piling up in courtrooms throughout the country as states and groups that receive federal dollars fight to keep the cash flowing.
在周三财政年度结束前的最后几个小时，半打州向联邦法院提起诉讼，挑战特朗普最新使用的有争议的“袖珍撤销权”。
In the final hours before the fiscal year ended late Wednesday, a half-dozen states went to federal court to challenge Trump’s latest use of a controversial "pocket rescission."
一个帮助移民家庭学生上大学的团体也提起了诉讼，试图保留特朗普试图追回的约2500万美元教育资金。
A group that helps students from migrant families go to college also filed suit, trying to preserve about $25 million in education funding Trump is seeking to claw back.
至少有一位联邦法官目前对特朗普的举动可能违法的论点表示同情，该举动实质上耗尽了国会评估并可能拒绝资金追回的权利的时间：美国地区法官贾·科布周三晚些时候裁定推迟5600万美元住房支持服务资金的到期，暂时阻止特朗普取消这笔资金。
At least one federal judge so far has been sympathetic to arguments that Trump’s move, which essentially runs out the clock on Congress' right to evaluate and potentially reject funding clawbacks, could be illegal: U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb ruled late Wednesday to delay the expiration of $56 million for housing support services, temporarily blocking Trump from canceling the money.
这波法律行动的爆发正值国会山上的许多议员呼吁法院推翻特朗普的行动，称其为非法且违宪地侵犯了国会决定联邦资金如何支出的权力。
The flurry of legal action comes as many lawmakers on Capitol Hill clamor for the courts to strike down Trump’s action as an illegal and unconstitutional encroachment on Congress’ power to dictate how federal cash is spent.
但这些新诉讼不一定会促使最高法院做出全面裁决，最高法院去年允许特朗普继续扣留他通过相同预算策略取消的40亿美元。
But the fresh lawsuits will not necessarily prompt a sweeping ruling from the Supreme Court, which allowed Trump to go ahead last year with withholding $4 billion he canceled through the same budget tactic.
高等法院在该简短的未签署命令中辩称，特朗普政府提出了有力的论据，即外部团体可能没有法律资格根据几十年前的扣留法提起诉讼。
The high court argued in that brief unsigned order that the Trump administration had made a strong argument that outside groups may not have legal standing to sue under the decades-old impoundment law.
在周三由六个州提起的诉讼中，起诉方辩称，总统不仅无视了那项1970年代的法律，还无视了宪法和国会在过去一年通过的年度拨款法案。
In the lawsuit Wednesday by six states, the suing parties argue that the president has not only flouted that 1970s law, but also the Constitution and the annual funding bills Congress has enacted over the last year.
那些因教育来自移民家庭的学生的项目被取消而提起诉讼的组织提出了类似的论点，认为特朗普政府通过基于“与项目资助或活动无关的言论、表达活动及观点”进行歧视，从而违反了美国宪法第一修正案。与此同时，科布（Cobb）的决定只是临时性的。她在周三发布的一份紧急命令中解释说，自己采取这一行动是因为那些提起诉讼的组织“会因为这些据称违宪的行为而失去大量资金”。乔什·格斯坦（Josh Gerstein）参与了本报道的撰写。
The group suing over the cancellation of funding for educating students from migrant families laid out similar arguments, contending that the Trump administration has violated the First Amendment by discriminating based on “protected speech, expressive activities, and viewpoints that are irrelevant to funding or activities” the programs support. Cobb's decision, meanwhile, is only temporary. She explained in an emergency order Wednesday that she acted because the suing groups “would lose out on significant amounts of funding due to allegedly unconstitutional actions.”Josh Gerstein contributed to this report.
