Rep. Ami Bera on Trump Administration’s Sweeping Attempt to Freeze Federal Grants and Loans
Washington, D.C.,
January 28, 2025
Today, U.S. Representative Ami Bera, M.D. (CA-06) released a statement on the Trump administration’s sweeping attempt to freeze federal grants and loans: “My staff has received an influx of calls from residents expressing concerns about the recent decision to freeze the delivery of essential resources to American communities, businesses, nonprofits and families. “This decision has far-reaching implications, potentially slowing or halting the delivery of critical services to Sacramento County residents. While the administration has stated that programs like Social Security and Medicare will not be directly impacted, this sweeping order creates uncertainty and risks disrupting the support systems that many families and organizations rely on. “Following the decision handed down by a federal judge temporarily blocking this freeze, I urge the Trump administration to reverse course and abandon this effort. My staff and I will remain in close contact with community partners and individuals who may be impacted by this move. I will do everything in my power to ensure that Sacramento County residents receive the vital funding and support they rely on.” |
