What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

Since January 2025, the Trump administration and its allies in Congress have targeted the social sector through actions including freezing federal funds, terminating grants, and tying funding to political priorities. This has occurred alongside an immigration crackdown that risks losing essential immigrant healthcare workers. Separately, the Democratic Women's Caucus is calling on the Trump administration to restore nearly $100 million appropriated by Congress for teen pregnancy prevention.
