New York Leaders Press Trump to Release Pending Counterterrorism Funds
TL;DR Summary
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani pressed President Trump to release $87 million in DHS counterterrorism funding that remains unfunded after a prior cut, saying the money is vital for 12 bomb squads, FDNY communications, hazmat and urban search-and-rescue readiness, and cybersecurity ahead of the 9/11 anniversary. DHS countered that New York has about $300 million in unspent FEMA funds and has received more funding than needed, while the dispute also riffs on immigration enforcement and sanctuary policies as federal officials tout arrests.
