Judge rules Trump can't withhold FEMA grants to states over deportations

A federal magistrate judge on Tuesday blocked the Trump administration from withholding disaster preparation grants to states if they don’t recalculate their population figures to reflect recent deportations.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Amy Potter also found the administration unlawfully shortened the period to spend the funds from it and another terrorism prevention grant program from three years to one.

Potter ruled both changes were arbitrary and capricious.

“Even giving Defendants the benefit of the doubt here, the Court finds the reasoning for each change to be lacking,” she wrote.
