From HS Today: Multiple Attorney General’s Sue DHS to Protect Emergency Preparedness and Disaster Relief Funding

“New York Attorney General Letitia James and 19 other attorneys general have filed a lawsuit challenging new U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) conditions that link emergency management and disaster relief funding to state immigration enforcement policies, as stated in a press release on May 13. According to the coalition, the DHS conditions require states to take certain immigration enforcement actions in order to receive emergency preparedness funding.

The lawsuit alleges that these new conditions unlawfully tie federal funding to immigration cooperation. The attorneys general are seeking a court order to declare these conditions unlawful and to maintain access to federal funds for emergency management efforts.:
