Trump aims to withhold $800M from immigration programs
U.S. President Donald Trump sought to block over $800 million in funding for immigration and minority programs unilaterally, despite Congress being the authority responsible for funding these initiatives. The cuts included programs supporting refugees, minority business development, and environmental conservation. Trump justified the move by citing concerns about wastefulness, efforts to combat illegal immigration, and ethnic tensions. His use of the "defund" mechanism was rare, faced opposition from both Democratic and Republican members, and was considered by some figures to be illegal.
