Luján Statement on Trump’s Illegal Pocket Recissions that Strips Nearly $1 Billion From American Families

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.) issued the following statement after the Trump administration released an illegal “pocket rescission” that would strip nearly $1 billion in funds meant to support American families: “Donald Trump and Russ Vought are illegally stripping away nearly $1 billion in funding for kids, K-12 students, small businesses, and families across America. “At a time when families are being squeezed by the rising costs of food, fuel, and other essentials, these cuts will only make life harder for New Mexicans. “Senate Democrats will fight back against these illegal cuts, defend Congress’ authority, and lower costs for families.” ###
