> Here are the facts: This morning a DHS document required states not to boycott Israel to be eligible for funding

> As of about 10 minutes ago the document was updated to remove this exact language after outcry
> > There is NO FEMA requirement tied to Israel in any current NOFO. No states have lost funding, and no new conditions have been imposed.

> > FEMA grants remain governed by existing law and policy and not political litmus tests. DHS will enforce all anti-discrimination laws and policies, including as it relates to the BDS movement, which is expressly grounded in antisemitism. Those who engage in racial discrimination should not receive a single dollar of federal funding.
