Judge Blocks Trump From Tying Terrorism Grants to Election Changes
Original: Judge Stops Trump From Conditioning Terrorism Grants on Election Changes
A federal judge has stopped the Trump administration from making homeland security terrorism-prevention grants conditional on states or cities adopting election-related changes. The ruling blocks the administration from using federal security funding as leverage over local election rules, a move critics called coercive. The decision is likely to be cited in ongoing legal fights over presidential power and election administration.
Why now: The ruling lands amid intense national debate over election rules and the limits of presidential authority over states.
