Dozens of Muslim groups blocked from receiving federal security grants: Report

The Trump administration has blocked dozens of Muslim organizations and houses of worship from receiving federal security grants intended to protect against hate crimes. Government agencies justified the move by alleging the groups have ties to terrorism, but internal FEMA sources reportedly find these claims questionable and politically motivated. The funding freeze comes amid a rise in Islamophobia linked to Israel's war on Gaza. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has condemned the decision, calling it unconstitutional and suggesting it was influenced by a pro-Israel think tank.
