The Trump administration eliminated over $800 million in federal grants from the Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs designated for community violence intervention initiatives in April 2025. These programs have proven more effective at reducing homicides than arrest-focused approaches. The cuts risk reversing recent dramatic declines in US homicide rates and disproportionately harm communities already experiencing high rates of violent crime.
President Trump signed Proclamation 10930 on March 26, 2025, adjusting import duties and tariffs on automobiles and automobile parts entering the United States.

This could impact job security, hiring practices, and workplace standards for millions of federal employees.
The Trump administration has lifted environmental protections from more than 86 million acres of federal land, reversing decades of conservation policy established by Theodore Roosevelt and subsequent presidents. The action eliminates designations for national parks, monuments, and protected lands, opening vast territories to resource extraction and development. Millions of Americans lose access to preserved natural areas and face increased environmental degradation.
