"The move is part of wholesale review of 56 FEMA programs to ensure they meet President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement efforts."
"The Federal Emergency Management Agency has frozen nearly $10 billion in disaster aid for nonprofits including hospitals as it seeks to identify funding that could be used to help undocumented migrants, according to agency documents obtained by POLITICO’s E&E News.
The blocked money had been approved for nongovernmental organizations to rebuild their own facilities after a disaster and to provide services such as short-term housing to survivors.
FEMA is reviewing the funding to determine whether it helps migrants in violation of a Feb. 6 executive order by President Donald Trump to “stop funding NGOs that undermine the national interest.” The review is part of Trump’s broader crackdown on immigration and other programs that focus on climate change or diversity."
