Assistant Leader Neguse Issues Statement on Trump’s Republican Funding Freeze

January 28, 2025 Press Release Lafayette, CO — Today, House Assistant Minority Leader Joe Neguse issued the following statement after the Trump Administration ordered a freeze on federal funding: “President Trump’s OMB directive is lawless and unconstitutional — and the freeze in Federal funding that he is attempting will have dangerous impacts for millions of Americans. The order threatens funding for law enforcement grants, farmers, Head Start programs for children, and countless other services and programs that Coloradans rely upon. House Democrats will stand firm in defending American taxpayers by opposing this unconstitutional order and utilizing every legislative tool available to uphold the rule of law.” ###
