flag Trump-era cuts to DOJ funding and training are hampering U.S. efforts to combat child sex crimes, including AI-assisted grooming.

flag U.S. Department of Justice officials are warning of serious setbacks in combating child sex crimes due to abrupt funding and training cuts, including the cancellation of the 2025 National Law Enforcement Training on Child Exploitation. flag The move, linked to the Trump administration’s early budget actions, has disrupted critical training, travel, and coordination efforts for investigators and task forces, hindering their ability to address evolving threats like AI-assisted grooming. flag Law enforcement personnel report increased restrictions, denied requests for mission-related activities, and a chilling effect on speaking out due to fear of retaliation. flag The cuts, which include unpaid grants to Internet Crimes Against Children task forces, have raised alarms about weakened coordination, reduced victim support, and long-term risks to child protection efforts.
