The Trump administration aimed to restrict counterterrorism funds for local governments that did not verify voters’ citizenship status.
On September 28, 2026, FEMA declared a 20 percent reduction in anti-terrorism funding for those local governments failing to modify certain election practices. This announcement was made by Graeme Sloan for The Washington Post.
In a significant development, a federal judge halted FEMA’s plan to withhold funds from local authorities that opted not to alter their election management methods. This serves as yet another defeat for the Trump administration’s efforts to change election regulations.
