New York Attorney General, Letitia James, charged Tuesday against the cut of Federal workers by the administration of US PresidentDonald Trump, who has affected a health program for 11-S victims with the reduction of 20 % of the workforce.
“Prudently cut the staffthe financing and resources that guarantee that the Survivors of 11-S receive the medical care they need is flatly cruel, “the prosecutor notes in a statement.
James does Reference to several reports that have revealed that Trump’s plan to compensate federal employees to resign and the mass dismissal of workers in the trial period have led to “important personnel cuts in federal medical care programs.”
The cuts include the health program of the Trade Center, which It was created in 2011 and provides medical treatment to more than 132,000 survivors of the attack, which claimed the lives of some 3,000 people.
“Thousands of New Yorkers They made heroic sacrifices to save others during this attack And, as a consequence, they are suffering from health consequences for life. These heroes deserve the maximum respect and attention on the part of their government. These cuts are unacceptable and must be reversed, “adds the prosecutor.
James’s statements take place just a few days after it was announced that almost 1,300 employees of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have been dismissed, after the Trump order to dispense with federal workers during the period test.
In this sense, Democratic senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand have denounced this measure today in a joint letter, in which they have asked the Secretary of Health, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who reverses the cuts in the CDC.
