Queens officials criticized the Trump administration for implementing a temporary funding freeze on federal assistance programs, affecting nonprofits, universities, and small business loans. The freeze was blocked by U.S. District Judge Loren L. AliKhan before taking effect. A White House memo directed agencies to assess compliance with Trump's executive orders, which included a focus on 'DEI' and the Green New Deal. While the freeze wouldn't impact Social Security and Medicare, it led to confusion among officials, prompting U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to request clarification on the affected initiatives.
The directive caused widespread confusion and fear, leaving elected officials unsure about which federal assistance initiatives would be impacted by the freeze.
The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars.
