Senate Democrats’ threats to withhold Homeland Security funding over the Trump administration’s immigration policies could put federal emergency assistance funding at risk, coming after a massive snowstorm that swept the country over the weekend and left thousands without power.

The DHS bill provides $64.4 billion, of which $32 billion is allocated for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Of that $32 billion, $26.4 billion is for the Disaster Relief Fund and $3.8 billion for grant programs, education, and training of firefighters, first responders, and others.
