D.C. Crime Soars, Security Funding Plummets | JQJO

Despite President Trump declaring D.C. crime 'totally out of control', the administration plans to cut the city's security funding by $20 million, reducing FEMA's urban security grant to $25.2 million. This represents a 44% reduction, the largest cut among recipients. The Department of Homeland Security justifies the cuts nationwide, including in major cities like New York and Los Angeles, by citing a shift in the threat landscape towards smaller-scale attacks.
