The White House is moving to block $810 million in appropriated federal funds through a pocket rescission just days before the fiscal year ends, according to CNBC.
The maneuver has drawn objections from critics who argue it circumvents the normal congressional appropriations process.
A pocket rescission allows the executive branch to withhold funds from being spent by running out the clock on the fiscal year.
The report did not specify which programs or agencies would be affected by the blocked funding.
