25 States Sue Trump Administration Over Disaster Aid Conditions

The lawsuit, filed by 25 states and the District of Columbia, accuses FEMA and DHS of withholding disaster-preparedness and homeland security grants to enforce election and immigration policies.
States claim the new funding conditions could withhold at least 20% of their Homeland Security Grant Program funding, amounting to approximately $148 million.
The lawsuit challenges the legality of these conditions under the Administrative Procedure Act and the U.S. Constitution, seeking to block them nationwide.
