US EditionTrump Administration Restores $187 Million in New York Counterterrorism Funding
The Trump administration reinstated $187 million in counterterrorism grants to New York amid concerns the cuts would reduce security against terrorism threats, officials said.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump's administration restored $187 million in counterterrorism grants to New York, with FEMA and DHS saying they were restoring `full funding`.
- Legal action and political objections prompted the review after a coalition of 11 states sued and a federal judge in Rhode Island temporarily blocked UASI cuts earlier this week.
- DHS defended its reallocation, saying New York City had received 30% of the funding and the NYPD’s post-September 11 counterterrorism work has thwarted dozens of plots.
- Gov. Kathy Hochul hailed the decision as `a victory for public safety` while Republican congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis said she called President Donald Trump directly, and Assistant Secretary of DHS Tricia McLaughlin promised to fight to restore reforms.
- Hochul framed the cuts as a public safety error and pressed for reversal, calling them `a profound mistake` and speaking with President Donald Trump Sunday, who was unaware of the cuts.
