Statement from GovAct Regarding the Federal Grant and Loan Freeze

The Trump Administration’s unconstitutional freeze of federal grants and loans is a direct threat to the safety and stability of people across the country. This administration says it champions law and order, yet this freeze appears to cut funding for violent fugitive apprehension, first responder overtime, and programs that protect victims and witnesses.

This far-reaching freeze also jeopardizes bipartisan priorities by threatening to shut down VA housing loans for veterans, adoption subsidies for foster families, and critical resources for firefighters, police, and probation officers. It may disrupt efforts to combat fentanyl, process rape kits, and fund drug and mental health treatment—lifelines for countless people across the nation.

While U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan blocked the implementation of this directive for now, GovAct urges the Trump Administration to reverse course immediately. Americans deserve a government that protects their safety, health, and stability, and we’ll keep fighting to ensure it does.
