Horsford on Trump’s Illegal Funding Freeze: Chaotic, Cruel & Calculated

January 28, 2025 Press Release NORTH LAS VEGAS – Congressman Steven Horsford (NV-04) today responded after President Donald Trump ordered an illegal freeze of all federal grant and loan payments, and a district judge prevented implementation. “President Trump is trying to unilaterally steal investments that were promised to Nevadan families to benefit his billionaire backers,” Rep. Horsford said . “We cannot let that happen, and I’m glad a district judge stopped him in his tracks today. As she said, this proposal brought a specter of irreparable harm. “Just 72 hours ago, Trump claimed to stand with hard working Nevadans here in Las Vegas,” Rep. Horsford continued . “Instead, he’s pushing Project 2025 policies that show us exactly what we’re in for. More chaos, more confusion, and more calculated attacks on the essential services that Nevadans depend on – energy assistance programs that help us heat our homes in the winter and cool them in the summer; tests protecting children from lead in our schools; utility services to remote parts of our state; investments in wildfire preparedness; HeadStart to help every student reach their full potential, and so much more would be lost. “Hardworking Nevadans deserve better and I will fight for my community and constituents every step of the way.” Issues : Economy Public Safety Energy and the Environment Health
