Lawmakers slam Trump’s move to cancel $810M in funding approved by Congress

The White House announced plans to cancel $810M in federal funding previously approved by Congress. This move, described as a pocket rescission, targets spending for refugee services, domestic programs, and initiatives serving children, minority groups, and immigrants. Lawmakers have criticized the Trump Administration for this action, asserting that the attempt to claw back these funds infringes upon the spending authority of Congress. The administration is now seeking to eliminate these specific federal allocations.
