Trump administration sued by NYC over migrant funding pull – NBC New York
New York Metropolis will sue the administration of President Donald Trump on Tuesday over one other latest effort to drag $188 million in migrant shelter funding allotted to the town.
The Federal Emergency Administration Company (FEMA) despatched a letter to the town on April 1 informing them that they plan to terminate three grants below the Shelter and Companies Program, which is for migrants.
It was not instantly clear whether or not the town’s lawsuit could be separate from or added to the earlier swimsuit the administration of NYC Mayor Eric Adams filed over the clawback of $80 million earlier in 2025.
“Like their earlier actions clawing again appropriated funds, these steps are illegal, and the New York Metropolis Regulation Division is at the moment figuring out the most effective authorized recourse to take to make sure that this cash stays in New York Metropolis, the place it was allotted and belongs,” Adams stated in an announcement.
“As I’ve repeatedly stated, New York Metropolis didn’t create this disaster — it was brought on by many years of federal inaction and failure to cross complete immigration reform,” he continued. “But, New Yorkers — and residents of different main cities throughout the nation — have been compelled to pay the value.”
In February, the town filed a lawsuit difficult the Trump administration’s seizing of greater than $80 million.
