The Washington Post reports that DHS has issued new FEMA disaster-aid contract rules barring states and federally funded nonprofits from providing assistance to undocumented immigrants. The updated terms require groups to cooperate with immigration enforcement, prohibit programs that “benefit illegal immigrants,” and restrict the use of federal funds for DEI initiatives. Disaster-relief organizations including the Red Cross and Salvation Army warn the policy will hinder aid to vulnerable populations and may conflict with state privacy laws and constitutional protections for faith-based groups.
