The EPA's actions to revoke the grants highlight the EPA's and, more broadly, the Trump administration's efforts to curb spending. Zeldin ordered EPA officials to conduct a line-by-line review of grants disbursed by the Biden administration. Overall, the Trump EPA has clawed back more than $1.7 billion awarded under the previous administration and terminated eight grants worth $20 billion for a "green bank" program. "It is our commitment at EPA to be exceptional stewards of tax dollars," Zeldin said this month. A spokesman for Pelosi declined to comment. Omar's office, the San Francisco County Transportation Authority, the Minneapolis American Indian Center, and the Sabathani Community Center did not respond to requests for comment. The Biden EPA announced it had selected the San Francisco and Minneapolis projects—known as Treasure Islands Connects and the Minneapolis Climate Resilience Partnership, respectively—to receive federal funding on Dec. 12, 2024, about a month before the administration left office and two weeks before then-EPA administrator Michael Regan departed the agency. The projects were two of the 105 that the EPA selected to receive money under the $2 billion Climate Justice Community Change Program, which was established by the Democrats' Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The agency received a total of 2,801 applications requesting tens of billions of dollars in funding for the program throughout 2024.
