President Trump tried to unilaterally cancel funds for programs supporting refugees and asylees, minority business development and housing counseling assistance. That's not allowed. We lay out what you need to know about Trump's "pocket rescissions":

Trump's proposed so-called “pocket rescission,” which attempts to claw back $810 million in funds appropriated by Congress, is illegal.

WaPo reports that Trump is stealing money again, this time money appropriated for (among others) Eastern Europe and sending it to Latin America. But I think stealing $$ from Iraq is just as important. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Late Wednesday, the administration quietly notified Congress it was defying the hold and moving ahead, diverting to Panama, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia $52 million that had been approved for Slovakia, North Macedonia, Tunisia and Iraq, the officials said.

Stealing money specifically appropriated for Slovakia and North Macedonia FEELS like a favor to Putin. Stealing money specifically appropriated for Iraq -- from which we've withdrawn a SECOND major base in the Middle East -- feels like a favor to Putin's allies in Iran.

To be clear, Mr. Attorney General, the 1st Cir struck down your policy after full adversary briefing on 9/18. Rather than seek clarification on whether it took effect immediately, you tried to fly still more people to 3d countries so it would be too late for them. On 9/23 it found out & stopped you.
Without even allowing the government a chance to respond, and in the dark of night, a federal appeals court blocked us from conducting all third-country removals of illegal aliens, an entirely legal and invaluable tool to stem the tide of illegal immigration. We will immediately seek relief from the Supreme Court, which previously granted a stay in this very same case.
