The supreme court has already ruled that the president does not have
the right to impound congressionally approved funds.

Who are these "illegal members of terrorist outfit" that you mention?
The only terrorists I can find are rioters of January 6, 2021.  Just
to clarify, showing up to a protest march with a gun, is sufficient
for me to be considered a terrorist.

There were armed civilians with illegal possession at the
Capitol on 6 January?  That's big news, otherwise previously
unreported. Too bad none of the malicious prosecutors knew
about that or someone would have been charged.

 List of those arrested:

Skimming the list, I found:
   Christopher Michael Alberts
   Lonnie Leroy Coffman
   Cleveland Grover Meredith

 I don't see the connection with what I wrote.  Catrike Ryder
mentioned:
"It beats me why anyone has a problem with getting rid of illegal
members of terrorist outfit"
in a discussion about presidential powers and the president impound
congressionally approved funding.  I asked him to clarify who were
these members of terrorist outfit.
 I must confess that I thought that there would have been more than 3
people carrying firearms on Jan 6.  I'll try to be more accurate next
time.
 

Lest someone here again tries to conflate lawful resident
aliens with illegal aliens (both terms from US Statutes) our
recently arrived fellow USAians know the difference:

 I'm not sure how it related to the current immigration and deportation
situations, but I've seen similar situations.  When we arrived in the
US in 1953, it was via Ellis Island.  There was a large number of
immigrant on the island.  It's too long ago for me to remember, but my
parents occasionally reminded me what happened.  I was told that there
were many immigrants who did not have proper documents for various
reasons.  When one was caught, the other immigrants (who had proper
documents) helped the authorities drag them to a temporary jail after
which they were eventually deported.  I don't know if that would
happen today, but I suspect not because of risk of retaliation.
 

Thank you for that. I was mistaken.
Among the 1200-odd convictions I had missed Mr Alberts, the sole person in possession on 6 January.
(the other two are not relevant to illegal possession at the Capitol)
There are many more instances of malicious prosecution:
