Representatives Deb Haaland and Ruben Gallego say, “Further postponement in disbursing these funds is unnecessary and works against the federal government’s trust responsibility to the 574 federally recognized tribal nations in the United States.”
Treasury previously planned to begin releasing these funds on Tuesday, but plans seemed to change when a Court ruling didn’t go their way.
It is cruel to make Tribes wait even longer than the month they already have for economic relief. @stevenmnuchin1: Release this aid NOW! https://t.co/GGW9K6Pxcg
