Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT):
Well, listen, a very, very positive reaction to that news.
And, first of all, thank you very much. It’s great to be to be with you.
This is outrageous of what the Trump administration is trying to just rob appropriated funds. There is a process that we go through in the appropriations bills. And in order to get them passed, you have to have buy-in from Democrats, Republicans, House and the Senate. President signs the bill, et cetera. And those funds then are to be administered by the agencies.
And that’s where we are. And this is outrageous. I’m delighted that this judge understands that this needs to have more debate, more clarification, and we need to have a hearing on it. So, in the meantime, we can provide all the information that is needed to talk about what will happen with this freeze.
What happens to the American people, to hardworking people?
