White House moves to cancel about $810 million in Congress-approved spending; lawmakers in both parties object

The White House said Friday it would cancel about $810 million in spending approved by Congress through a "pocket rescission," a rarely used process that sidesteps congressional approval. Some outlets, including the Associated Press and CBS News, put the total at nearly $1 billion. The Hill reported that most of the cuts target Health and Human Services programs serving immigrants and unaccompanied children. Lawmakers in both parties called the move illegal.
