While the nation expects an executive order from President Donald Trump around the Ministry of EducationNew York Democrats led to a debate about his legality. The White House says that cutting wasting government financing “is not a crime in a court.”
Senator Kristen GillibrandDn.y., and Government Kathy HochulDN.Y., this week held a press conference at a public school in Manhattan and called Trump’s plans for the Education Department ‘illegal’ and ‘unconstitutional’. The White House said that the Democrats are Americans “gas light”.
“Earlier this week we learned that the Trump government draws up an executive order to close the Ministry of Education,” said Gillibrand on Sunday. “This would endanger thousands of jobs in New York and billions of dollars in federal financing for children, teachers, families and schools of New York. We are here to show them that we are ready to fight for our children, fight for Our communities and fights for our schools “
As Trump is expected to take steps this month to defend the Ministry of Education, Democrats started Trump’s second term for another week that protested against the Ministry of Government Efficiency. The Trump government rejected the protests as an attempt “to recover from their embarrassing loss in November.”

“The Democrats do not have a plan to recover from their embarrassing loss, and it turns out. Instead of working to become a party that focuses on the will of the people, they are completely stuck to their heads in it to keep the sand and get up the widespread mission of DOGE, fraud and abuse, and better stewards of the hard -earned dollars of the American taxpayer can be a crime for Democrats, but it is not a crime in a justification, ” Representative, “Pers Secretary, Harrison Fields told Fox News Digital in a statement.
Gillibrand reminded New Yorkers on Sunday that the dismantling of the Ministry of Education would require the approval of the congress.
“What he does is illegal. It is unconstitutional. It is unconstitutional and illegal. It is unconstitutional because the congress is the only organ that can decide how the taxpayer dollars sends New Yorkers to Washington is spent.”

Hochul warned New Yorkers that they will pick up the tab if Trump closes the Ministry of Education.
“The majority of your local real estate tax is your school tax,” Hochul said. “If that money evaporates from the federal government, where are they going? This will touch homeowners and companies, and I want them to be aware of this consequence.”

Hochul said that unmasking the Ministry of Education could refuse students Pell Grants, a federally funded program that helps students with a low income to pay for the university, and New York City ‘S Public School Nutrition Programs, which offer free breakfast, lunch and after-school meals for students. Hochul insisted on New York’s Republicans to speak in Washington for the public school students of New York.
