Original: Trump administration revokes $810M approved by Congress for refugee aid & more, angering both parties
The Trump administration has revoked $810 million that Congress had approved for refugee assistance and related programs, a move drawing criticism from both Democratic and Republican lawmakers. The decision is being widely reported and discussed as a notable example of executive action overriding appropriations, with bipartisan anger suggesting unease even among the president's allies about cutting funds already allocated by law.
Why now: The bipartisan backlash over revoked congressionally approved funding is a fresh development in ongoing disputes over executive control of spending.
