Nevada Ag joins the demand against the freezing of Trump’s funds, requires clarity of the White House

Nevada Ag joins the demand against the freezing of Trump’s funds, requires clarity of the White House

Confusion and questions Continue to revolve around the federal financing status after the executive order of President Trump to freeze federal assistance programs throughout the country.

While the White House tries to clarify the reports that the order has been rescinded, several states, including Nevada, have ensured a postponement to prevent freezing having immediate effect.

The Trump administration said the order is part of a broader effort to reduce government spending.

He Frozen financing Originated from a memorandum of the Office of Management and Budget, which ordered federal agencies to temporarily pause financial assistance.

“Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid has not been affected by any action that we are taking in any way, form or form,” said the administration. “We are simply looking at parts of the great bureaucracy where there have been tremendous waste, fraud and abuse.”

FURTHER: The Trump administration terminates the note related to the freezing of federal funds

The memorandum declared that the freezing would allow the administration to review which programs are aligned with the president’s agenda.

However, a federal judge temporarily blocked the order to enter into force yesterday afternoon.

Despite this, the White House Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said the administration still continues with freezing.

In a publication on social networks, Leavitt declared that the original memorandum was terminated, but insisted that the president’s executive order is still in force.

This publication has caused confusion between citizens and legislators.

The attorney general of Nevada, Aaron Ford, responded on social networks, saying: “Americans deserve much more clarity on a subject like this than the next White House.”

The Office of the Attorney General confirmed that the lawsuit against the order will continue despite the termination of the note.

Ford, together with 22 other general prosecutors, is presenting a lawsuit against the President, qualifying the unconstitutional order.

“I hope that this demand will be decided rapidly in favor of the states to calm any fear that our community and partners can have possible impacts on vital services,” Ford said.
