White House moves to cancel about $810 million in Congress-approved spending

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 takes effect without a vote in Congress. Some outlets put the total at nearly $1 billion. According to The Hill, most of the cuts affect Health and Human Services programs serving undocumented immigrants and unaccompanied children in court. Some lawmakers in both parties called the move illegal.
