New York is fighting back against a federal move that could strip the state of over $100 million in emergency preparedness and national security funding. At stake are critical federal dollars that support law enforcement training, counter-terrorism efforts, and emergency response programs across New York. “This is an illegal attempt to pressure states into supporting mass deportation efforts by cutting off vital safety funding,” said Attorney General James. They are seeking a court order to stop the reallocations and restore the full federal funding originally authorized by Congress. Despite that ruling, the federal government moved forward with a new plan to redirect even more funding away from states like New York.
