According to Media Sources, which I recognize can sometimes be wrong, President Trump intends to cut over a billion dollars in spending on our nation's Coast Guard. This is in contrast to his policy against Terrorism and Illegal Immigration, both of which the Coast Guard specialize in stopping.

Two units affected by this are the Coast Guard's counter-terrorism "Specialized Forces", i.e. the M.S.R.T. and M.S.S.T., these units protect our country from terrorism at home and at times abroad, specially trained for direct insertion CQC missions, such as liberating ferries and other maritime environments terrorists are prone to strike.

We recognize that these cuts leave a sizeable gap in our nation's domestic security, and ask that the President boost funding for the "Long Blue Line".
