Case Overview

New York sued the Department of Homeland Security over the cancellation of counterterrorism funding, allegedly in an attempt to punish the state for not cooperating with federal law enforcement.


The Application

History

New York alleged that DHS cancelled counterterrorism funding as punishment for the state's refusal to cooperate with federal law enforcement priorities. If the cancellation was retaliatory rather than based on neutral, pre-announced criteria, it would constitute an impermissible condition on federal funds conditioning continued receipt on state compliance with federal enforcement priorities.

The Conclusion

The court decided the case as of September 30, 2025, resolving whether the funding cancellation constituted unconstitutional retaliation or fell within the government's lawful spending authority.
