25 States, Including Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware, Sue FEMA and DHS Over Funding Conditions
A coalition of 25 states, including Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware, has filed a lawsuit against the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The lawsuit alleges that the federal government is withholding disaster relief and counterterrorism funding unless states agree to share voter rolls. The attorneys general of these states argue that this condition is an overreach of federal authority and violates state sovereignty. The legal action reflects growing tensions between state governments and federal agencies over the management and distribution of federal funds.
