Trump aims to halt $800M in minority funds
President Donald Trump has launched a series of measures to block more than $800 million from immigration programs, minority initiatives, and education funds approved by Congress, using a rare mechanism called "defunding." This move aims to reduce spending on programs that assist refugees and minority business development, under the claim that they support illegal immigration, increase racial tensions, and adopt a hardline stance on environmental issues. However, this step has faced criticism from some members of Congress, especially since the Supreme Court previously rejected efforts to halt the use of this mechanism.
