Judge blocks Trump from cutting counterterrorism funds for Democratic-led states
The court blocked a $233 million cut to 11 Democratic-led states over refusal to support federal immigration enforcement, preserving counterterrorism and homeland security funding.
- Tuesday, Judge Mary Susan McElroy granted a temporary restraining order blocking the Trump administration and FEMA from cutting counterterrorism funds to sanctuary and Democratic-led states.
- Targeting jurisdictions that refused federal requests, the administration cut about $233 million from expected HSGP funds, granting $226 million instead to Washington, California and New York.
- New York officials warned, 'statewide cuts totaled $87 million', with the NYPD losing $79 million and the FDNY $15 million, affecting counterterrorism efforts.
- McElroy ordered DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to rescind 2025 HSGP award notifications and barred reallocation, finding Plaintiffs showed 'a strong likelihood of success on the merits, irreparable harm, and that the balance of equities and public interest favor the Plaintiffs'.
- Eleven states plus the District of Columbia sued Monday, and New York Attorney General Letitia James called the reallocation 'illegal'; the notifications followed a Rhode Island federal judiciary ban on funding conditions.
