Trump plans to cut $800 million in immigration and minority funding
The White House announced that President Donald Trump intends to withhold more than $800 million in funding allocated for immigration, minority communities, and education. This decision was made unilaterally by the administration, despite congressional approval. The cuts include programs supporting refugees, minority business development, and environmental protection abroad. This move comes amid an ongoing dispute between the White House and Congress over control of government spending. Senator Susan Collins criticized the decision, deeming it illegal, while the Supreme Court is inclined to allow the use of the "defunding" mechanism to bypass Congress in similar cases.
