Cutting federal funding to non-government organizations has been one of the focuses for Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz in recent weeks as he gets ready to defend his seat against challenger Gat Valimont in November 5.
In early October, Getz introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives the "Blocking Assistance and Resources to Restrict Illegal Entry and Residency Act of 2024," also known as the BARRIER Act, which aims to restrict federal financial assistance to organizations and groups that, in his words, "help migrants illegally enter the U.S. or give assistance to migrants unlawfully residing here."
