This is the next blow that red states are taking to follow along with the MAGA plan of attack. By disaffiliating as a member station, APT will not show any national PBS programming and will ultimately control every aspect of that station. What does this mean?

NEW - The Trump admin has disbanded its federal cultural property investigations team and reassigned the agents to immigration enforcement, delivering a blow to one of the world’s leaders in heritage protection, according to multiple ppl familiar with the changes.

The U.S. was a leader in cultural heritage investigations. Now those agents are working immigration enforcement.
Homeland Security Investigations, the department’s investigative arm, once had as many as eight agents in its New York office investigating cultural property cases.

Trump's latest milestone: Forcing more than 211,000 people out of their federal jobs since January.
A near-decimation of the federal workforce in nine months.
