Trump administration cancels refugee and immigrant funding
Original: Trump admin cancels funding for refugees, immigrants and others in move lawmakers argue is illegal
The Trump administration has cancelled funding for programmes serving refugees, immigrants and other groups, a move that lawmakers argue is illegal. Critics in Congress say the cuts exceed the administration's legal authority, while the administration defends the cancellations as part of its broader immigration agenda. The decision affects organisations that rely on federal money to provide resettlement and support services.
Why now: The funding cancellations are fresh news and are being contested in Congress as potentially unlawful.
