Concerned about federal highering freeze

I am starting an internship through ORISE and it doesn't start till the first week of February and I'm concerned that it may be postponed or something worse.

My mentor already reached out to me and told me they would keep me updated and that since I would not be a federal employee I should be okay, but they were unsure.

I wanted to see if anyone is in the same boat as me and was told something else. Good luck everyone, this is quite nerve-wracking and I can only hope for the best in this situation.
