"A federal judge this week blocked the Trump administration from conditioning disaster and security funds for states on their immigration policies.
Earlier this year, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued terms and conditions for federal grants, which state that grant recipients must coordinate and cooperate with immigration officials.
Twenty Democrat-led states sued over the use of this policy at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which is part of the DHS. They argued that their immigration policies should not impact their ability to receive disaster and counterterrorism grants.
Judge William Smith, agreed, issuing a permanent injunction barring the department from enforcing the conditions."
