The Trump administration’s Office of Management and Budget released a memo on Wednesday rescinding a controversial order that had frozen a broad range of federal financial assistance, paralyzing many federal programs and sparking a major uproar on Capitol Hill.

The decision came after strong behind-the-scenes pushback from Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill, according to a GOP senator who was informed of the reversal. The policy change was signed by Matthew Vaeth, the acting director of the White House budget office.

One GOP senator expressed relief over the decision.

“Chaos is never good,” the lawmaker said.

GOP senators had been inundated with calls from community leaders expressing confusion and concern about losing federal grants. The biggest issue was the outage of Medicaid’s web portal, which affected many states and led to widespread public outcry.
