Quelle coincidence ! FUNDING that TRUMP cut will "impede efforts to bring child predators to justice." A COINCIDENCE!
An annual conference designed to help train members of law enforcement on combating child exploitation was cancelled this year as part of the Trump administrations massive spending cuts to the Justice Department, leaving several prosecutors and law enforcement officers fuming, The Guardian reported Saturday.
Were left figuring out how to survive without it, a law enforcement official told The Guardian, speaking with the outlet under the condition of anonymity. We have had to make cuts, redo things, and go back to other funding sources to beg and plead for money.
Known as the National Law Enforcement Training on Child Exploitation, the annual conference was cancelled this year as part of the Trump administrations termination of hundreds of millions of dollars in DOJ spending. The Trump admin terminated $820 million in DOJ grants within three months of his swearing in last year.
The cancellation of the conference on child exploitation, however, hit home for a number of law enforcement officials, many of whom told The Guardian that its cancellation will put vulnerable children at risk and impede efforts to bring child predators to justice, the outlet reported.
