Denver Sues Trump Administration over Funding Pulled for Nuclear Detection Program

  • On May 14, 2025, the Department of Homeland Security froze funding for the Securing the Cities program, prompting Denver and four other cities to file a lawsuit against DHS and its secretary.
  • The lawsuit argues that DHS overstepped its authority by pausing congressionally approved counterterrorism funds, violating Congress's power over government spending.
  • The freeze halted reimbursements, forced cancellation of critical training, delayed equipment repairs, and suspended use of a $263,000 mobile detection unit used in daily operations.
  • City Attorney David Chiu criticized the Trump administration for abruptly cutting the Securing the Cities grant without providing any justification, emphasizing that protecting local communities remains the city's highest priority.
  • The lawsuit demands that DHS resume funding and process pending reimbursements, while cities warn that frozen resources risk public safety and security at upcoming major events like Super Bowl LX.
