States Accuse Trump Administration of Illegally Tying FEMA Funding to ICE Cooperation

A coalition of states has filed a motion alleging that the Trump administration is continuing to make Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funding conditional on cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), despite previous court orders deeming such conditions unlawful. The states claim this prevents them from accessing nearly $1 billion in congressionally approved counterterrorism and emergency management funds.
