AG Ford announced that he secured an order last week from the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon blocking the Trump administration from imposing unlawful conditions on two Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grants. In November, Attorney General Ford joined a coalition of 12 states in filing a lawsuit against Secretary Kristi Noem, the Department of Homeland Security, Secretary David Richardson, and FEMA for unlawfully interfering with grant funding already promised to states for emergency management, disaster relief, and homeland security operations. 
 
“The Trump administration’s attempt to undermine Nevada’s readiness for emergency situations and security threats is a total abdication of the government’s responsibility to its constituents. The terms that President Trump’s administration attempted to place on these grants were blatantly illegal, and we are proud that the court has agreed." – AG Ford
