Native Hawaiian leaders and lawmakers are protesting President Donald Trump's proposal to remove funding for the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL), which he previously failed to secure last year. The proposal comes after conservative organizations sued Kamehameha Schools and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services over their preference policy for Native Hawaiians, claiming its Native Hawaiian Health Scholarship program is racially discriminatory. Critics argue that the funds saved from the cuts would fuel wars around the world. Some believe this administration is not friendly to Native Hawaiian causes and the community.
