Fox News reports:
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is moving to make English the sole language used for all agency business, Secretary Scott Turner said Tuesday. The move is in line with President Donald Trump’s executive order in March to make English the official language of the United States.
In a memo sent out Monday, HUD deputy secretary Andrew Hughes advised department leadership of the changes. “We are one people, united, and we will speak with one voice and one language to deliver on our mission of expanding housing that is affordable, helping those in need, caring for our most vulnerable Americans, and revitalizing rural, tribal, and urban communities,” he wrote.
HUD previously touted that it accommodated around 222 languages and had an interpretation line for individuals unable to speak English proficiently.

In April, Turner dismissed his staff early ahead of Easter weekend to “reflect on Jesus.”
In June, it was reported that Turner is moving to take over the former National Science Foundation building as his agency’s headquarters, where he has demanded a full-floor executive suite, a private dining room, and parking for his five personal cars.
