As Trump Visits New Mexico, Groups Protest Transfer Of Funds Allocated By Congress

twitter.com/potus

While President Trump visited New Mexico on Monday, groups here and across the country are fighting his administration’s policies.

Indivisible groups held a nationwide “Defund Hate” campaign last week.  The campaign wants Congress to cut overall funding for ICE…Immigration and Customs Enforcement…and U-S Customs and Border Protection. The group also wants Congress to prevent ICE from taking money meant for other agencies.

Greg White with Indivisible Las Cruces says American voters need to know how their money is being spent.

Indivisible…as well as many in Congress…are outraged by the recent Trump administration decision to transfer money from military projects to build a border wall.  They say the allocations made by Congress should not be altered by the President.
