States say Trump administration defying FEMA funds ruling

Original: "A judge🚨previously barred the # Trump admin from using # FEMA funding to pressure states into cooperating with # ICE .

A federal judge previously barred the Trump administration from using FEMA funding to pressure states into cooperating with ICE on immigration enforcement. Democratic-led states say the government is doing it anyway, and on Wednesday filed a motion asking the court to enforce that injunction, arguing the administration has continued tying disaster money to immigration compliance despite the court order.

Why now: The states' new enforcement motion this week renewed attention on the ongoing legal fight over disaster funds and immigration cooperation.
