The Trump administration is cutting off more than $10 billion in social services and child care funding meant for a handful of Democrat-led states, officials told The Post Monday.
The Department of Health and Human Services will freeze taxpayer funding from the Child Care Development Fund (CCDF), the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program and the Social Services Block Grant program.
At least $7.35 billion in TANF money will be prevented from going to California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, and New York.
The CCDF funding block of $2.3 billion affects all those states except Colorado.
Another $869 million from the Social Services Block Grant coffers is being kept from all five states. The funding pauses were to be announced via letters to each state, citing concerns that benefits were fraudulently going to non-US citizens.
Reps for the governor’s office in each of the five states did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
This is a developing story. Please check back for more information.

from some weekend posts, maybe Ohio should have been in the mix.
Cutting off all the money laundering sources to the dnc coffers. He’s going to make them really regret stealing the 2020 election and messing with him afterwards
Here goes the left wasting more money on frivolous law suits. Lawyers must secretly love the Trump administration.
There. Fixed it.
I would bet that those 5 are just the tip of the iceberg
THIS IS WHAT I VOTED FOR! End the democrat fraud machine….
It’s getting pretty obvious that corruption and Democrats are synonymous.
I voted for this! MAGA! :)
President Trump needs to cut off Washington State.
There are several more states too Should be the original eight that stole the 2020 elections.
I live 10 minutes from the epicenter of Ohio’s Mogadishu. I believe a product of a policy from the Obama admin, or possibly even Bush. It’s on the northern edge of Columbus and the stores, day care centers, housing, and everything else associated with the Somali population has become a trashy embarrassment.
Columbus is second only to Minneapolis in this regard.
I guarantee you there’s Minneapolis-style fraud rampant among that community. I wonder if Trump has held back because we have a republican,(I use that word loosely), governor. Granted Columbus has a democrat mayor and is solidly trash-blue as is Franklin county, which is 1 of only 3 counties in Ohio that goes blue every election.
It might be because Ohio is cooperating in audits and turning over records to the Feds who will be using them to deport illegals.
These other five states sued Trump to prevent disclosure.
Definitely MI. That trio there didn’t get there on talent…
Democrat-led states need to be made to have a state line signs
YOUR RIGHTS STOP HERE.
I live in NYS and I support this.
My concern is the money being stolen be democrats.
Fears???? How about RICO level fraud.
Glad he’s including Colorado.
