State leaders in Minnesota, including Gov. Tim Walz, addressed President Trump's federal funding freeze​ Tuesday afternoon, calling the move "unprecedented" and "illegal."

The unilateral decision by President Donald Trump to temporarily freeze federal funding already approved by Congress threatens up to $1.9 billion in monthly funding in Minnesota, Gov. Tim Walz said.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz condemned Trump’s freeze on federal funds that state officials say put nearly $2 billion per month for police, health and childcare programs in limbo.
