Reuters reported that the Trump administration is accused of shifting anti-terrorism funds from Democratic strongholds to Republican states. According to multiple officials cited by the report, after the government announced the expected federal anti-terrorism grants for each state in late summer this year, it adjusted the distribution ratios a few weeks later. States that supported Trump in the 2024 election, such as Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Ohio, saw the largest increases, while states with strong Democratic support, such as Washington D.C., Illinois, and New Jersey, experienced significant reductions in funding. A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security responded that the adjustment of funds was "not arbitrary or politically motivated." However, Reuters pointed out that Trump has repeatedly linked federal resource allocation to political loyalty in public appearances, and this change has once again raised concerns about his potential political standards influencing the distribution of security funds.
