Trump using rare power to revoke expenditure with bipartisan approval to aid immigrant services
Donald Trump is canceling nearly $1bn in spending approved by Congress, the White House announced on Friday, using a rare and contested power to axe funding for immigrant services and diversity-focused initiatives.
Trump’s office of management and budget described the funding cut as focused on “the most harmful government spending”.
Most of the cuts are focused on services for immigrants, including non-profits that serve refugees and unaccompanied minors accused of being in the country illegally. The administration says the funds are no longer necessary because illegal border crossings have diminished considerably.
The editor is not “the media,”
A person okayed this for a paycheck.
Someone’s kid says “My (mom/dad) is the editor of the guardian’s current events section.” When asked what their parents does for work.
And yet sometimes they are.
