'Chilling': Trump DHS's shocking new ban hits vital aid groups

The Department of Homeland Security, under the leadership of Secretary Kristin Noem, has rolled out a new policy prohibiting aid and volunteer groups from assisting undocumented immigrants, and under threat of having federal grant funding pulled.
“There is no historical context for this,” said Scott Robinson, Arizona State University professor, FEMA historian and emergency management expert, speaking with The Washington Post on Wednesday. “The notion that the federal government would use these operations for surveillance is entirely new territory.”
The new policy was first reported on by The Post on Wednesday after the outlet conducted a series of interviews with FEMA employees. The policy would require aid groups, including groups that help with disaster recovery, to sign a pledge that they would not assist undocumented immigrants in any aid efforts, lest they become ineligible for federal funding.
