The Trump administration has cut ties between the Interior Department and more than three dozen organizations linked to environmental activism and diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, a move that officials say will save taxpayers about $4 million.

The Department of the Interior announced the action after reviewing roughly 2,000 active agreements with outside groups.

Officials said many of the partnerships no longer align with administration priorities or fail to “provide a clear benefit.”

According to a department press release obtained by Fox News, the department is “ending partnerships with groups that no longer represent the priorities of the American people.”

The move is part of President Donald Trump’s push to root out government waste, fraud, and abuse and reduce spending across federal agencies.

Among the organizations affected is the Hispanic Access Foundation, which has promoted scholarship opportunities for undocumented immigrants.

In 2021, HAF President and CEO Maite Arce described“Dreamers” as one of the “most vulnerable communities” during the COVID-19 pandemic because of their “limited resources.”
