Survivors speak out after Trump dismisses domestic violence crimes: ‘Deeply disturbing’
Since taking office, the Trump administration has threatened to cut millions of dollars in grants to domestic violence advocacy groups and required service providers to agree to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
A lawsuit from the National Women’s Law Center on behalf of 17 state domestic violence and sexual assault organizations argues that restrictions imposed by the administration illegally interfere with the Violence Against Women Act.
Trump’s statement that crime has been all but eliminated in the capital city under his federal takeover also fails under scrutiny.
