YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOver 700 ATF Agents and Investigators on the Chopping Block?
In a jaw-dropping exchange, Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro confronts Attorney General Pam Bondi over a Trump administration budget proposal that would slash funding for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) by 26% — gutting federal enforcement efforts on illegal gun trafficking and drug crimes. The plan would eliminate 541 industry investigators, reduce regulation of the firearms industry by 40%, and cut 186 special agents, despite rising gun violence across the country.
🧨 DeLauro doesn’t hold back, demanding real answers as Bondi deflects and dodges basic accountability. The hearing exposes the real human cost of this budget — fewer inspections, fewer agents, and weaker support for state and local law enforcement working to keep communities safe.
🚨 Also on the chopping block:
34% cut to the High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas program
4.4% cut to the DEA
Zero funding for the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces
👇 WATCH TILL THE END to see how DeLauro corners Bondi with her own agency’s budget document — and why this matters for every American worried about guns, drugs, and safety.
